Major League Cricket (MLC) is building excitement for its upcoming third season as the league recently announced its return to Grand Prairie Stadium in Texas for the 2025 tournament. In a social media post that captured the electric atmosphere of the venue, MLC expressed enthusiasm about welcoming fans back to one of its flagship stadiums.
The Instagram post features a video showing the vibrant environment at Grand Prairie Stadium. The accompanying caption reads: “Vibes are always high at Grand Prairie Stadium 🤠🏏 We can’t wait to welcome you back to Texas for the third installment of Cognizant #MajorLeagueCricket!!! 🙌🇺🇸❤️”
MLC 2025: Building On Previous Success
Major League Cricket, which launched in 2023, has been rapidly growing as America’s first professional T20 cricket league. The tournament features six teams: MI New York, Los Angeles Knight Riders, Seattle Orcas, Texas Super Kings, San Francisco Unicorns, and Washington Freedom.
The league is expanding its venue lineup for the 2025 season. While Grand Prairie Stadium remains a central location, MLC has added Broward County Stadium in South Florida to host matches from July 1-6. The Oakland Coliseum will also return as a venue, with early bird tickets for its opening weekend already sold out due to high demand.
Ticket Sales And Playoff Presale Announcement
Ticket sales appear to be moving at a rapid pace, with the league announcing special presale opportunities for fans. According to a recent update, those who have purchased tickets to any MLC 2025 match will receive exclusive early access to playoff tickets starting April 28th.
“BIG NEWS 🎉 🙌 🎟️ Playoffs + Final presale tickets open on Monday, 4/28! Fans that have purchased a ticket to any #MLC2025 match will be given exclusive access to our Playoff ticket window on Monday to purchase single match tickets FIRST!!!” the league announced.
Early bird ticket discounts are currently available through April 30th, with the league encouraging fans to secure their seats at discounted rates while they still can.
Star Power Boosting The League’s Profile
The league continues to attract high-profile international cricket talent, which has been key to its growth. Recently, MLC announced that Australian cricket star David Warner has signed with the Seattle Orcas for the upcoming season, calling it a “BIG SPLASH signing.” New Zealand wicketkeeper Tim Seifert was also announced as joining the San Francisco Unicorns.
These signings follow the pattern established in previous seasons, where international cricket stars have joined MLC teams to help establish the league’s credibility and appeal. The inaugural 2023 season featured renowned players like Faf du Plessis, Aaron Finch, and Sunil Narine.
Expanding Cricket’s American Footprint
MLC’s continued investment in venues across the United States demonstrates cricket’s growing footprint in America. The league now features stadiums in Texas, California, North Carolina, and Florida, creating a truly national presence for the sport.
With the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup having been partly hosted in the United States in 2024, Major League Cricket is positioned to capitalize on growing interest in the sport. The league is cognizant of this momentum, as evidenced by their promotional strategy highlighting the “epic chapter” ahead.
In a nostalgic post referencing last season’s championship, the Washington Freedom team invited fans to “do it all over again bigger, louder, and prouder” for the 2025 season, indicating high expectations for fan turnout and engagement.
Looking Ahead To The Season
While specific dates for the full season haven’t been detailed in recent posts, the league appears to be starting in June 2025. The growing popularity of cricket in the United States, combined with the increasing star power of the league’s players, suggests that MLC’s third season could be its most successful yet.
As cricket continues to establish itself in the American sporting landscape, Major League Cricket’s expansion and enthusiasm point to a bright future for the sport that was once considered niche in the United States but is now gaining mainstream attention and commercial viability.
