Major League Cricket (MLC) has officially announced Grand Prairie, Texas as the new location for its headquarters, marking a significant move for America’s premier professional cricket league. The announcement, made via the league’s Instagram account, confirms that the MLC is solidifying its presence in Texas ahead of its third season.
Grand Prairie Becomes MLC’s New Home
According to the official announcement, the league will host 10 days of cricket action at Grand Prairie Stadium from June 20-29, 2025, before returning in July (8-13) for the much-anticipated playoff matches. This strategic relocation positions the Texas venue as the central hub for the growing cricket competition in the United States.
The Instagram post showcasing the announcement features Grand Prairie Stadium, highlighting the venue that will host both regular season matches and the championship series. The stadium has previously hosted MLC matches and has become a fan-favorite location for cricket in America.
MLC’s social media announcement emphasized the importance of securing tickets early, noting that early bird discounts are currently available but will end on April 30. Prices will increase starting in May, giving cricket fans a limited window to purchase tickets at reduced rates.
Playoff Ticket Presales Coming Soon
In related news from the league’s social media, MLC has also announced that playoff and final presale tickets will open on Monday, April 28. Fans who have already purchased tickets to any MLC 2025 match will receive exclusive first access to this presale window for single match playoff tickets.
The organization has been actively promoting the upcoming season, reminding fans that early bird tickets are “flying fast” and that significant savings are available for those who purchase before the April 30 deadline.
Star Power Boosts MLC’s Third Season
MLC’s 2025 season is already generating excitement with several high-profile player signings. Most notably, Australian cricket star David Warner has joined the Seattle Orcas, bringing his world-class batting talents to the league. The Orcas announced this major acquisition on their social channels, describing it as a “BIG SPLASH signing.”
Another international signing includes New Zealand’s Tim Seifert, who will represent the Bay Area franchise. These additions of global cricket talent highlight MLC’s continued growth and increasing ability to attract established stars to the American cricket scene.
Major League Cricket is a professional Twenty20 cricket league in the United States that launched in July 2023. The league features six teams: Los Angeles Knight Riders, MI New York, San Francisco Unicorns, Seattle Orcas, Texas Super Kings, and Washington Freedom. The MI New York team won the inaugural championship, while the Washington Freedom claimed the 2024 title.
Growing Cricket’s American Footprint
The league has been working to establish cricket’s presence across multiple American markets. Beyond Grand Prairie, MLC has been promoting matches in Broward County, Florida, noting on social media that “the support from Broward County has been unreal” and expressing excitement about playing in front of South Florida cricket fans.
The 2025 season marks the third installment of Cognizant Major League Cricket, with the league continuing to expand its footprint in what has traditionally been a non-cricket market. Recent social media posts from MLC showcase enthusiastic crowds at Grand Prairie Stadium, with the caption “Vibes are always high at Grand Prairie Stadium” accompanied by footage of energetic fans.
MLC’s decision to centralize operations in Texas while maintaining a presence in other markets demonstrates the league’s strategic approach to growing cricket in the United States, a country where the sport has historically had limited exposure but is seeing rapidly increasing interest.
With early bird ticket sales underway and high-profile player signings being announced, the third season of Major League Cricket is shaping up to be its biggest yet as cricket continues to establish itself in the American sports landscape.
