MLC 2025: Teams, Schedule, Time In IST, Results, Man Of The Match, Streaming Details. The third season of Major League Cricket (MLC 2025) is scheduled from June 13 to July 14, 2025. As the sport continues to grow at an unprecedented pace on American soil, MLC 2025 represents an incredible leap forward in terms of scale, talent, and global recognition.
In this season, a total of 34 matches will be played in three host cities—Grand Prairie (Texas), Morrisville (North Carolina), and Lauderhill (Florida)—which promise to deliver electrifying cricket for a five-week extravaganza. Backed by the IPL, international superstars, and a straightforward vision to create a legacy that mainstreams cricket into the American sporting psyche, MLC 2025 will be the biggest and most competitive season to date.
Washington Freedom returns for MLC 2025 as defending champions, winning their first title in 2024 after defeating the San Francisco Unicorns in a dominant final. The squad will retain most of the core group of players, with 15 players committed to returning, including key internationals like Steve Smith, Glenn Maxwell, and Jack Edwards, demonstrating a positive mixture of continuity. The most significant change is that Glenn Maxwell will be captain during the tournament, replacing Smith, who is committed to returning after the WTC Final.

Furthermore, Grand Prairie Stadium in Texas is quickly becoming the home of American cricket, with the potential to host global ICC events shortly and possibly serve as an Olympic venue for LA 2028.
