Hyderabad: 

A total of six teams will battle in the third edition of the MLC. The tournament has held official List-A status since the International Cricket Council (ICC) granted it recognition last year. The 2025 season is set to be the biggest yet, with MLC 2025 expanding to 34 games, including the playoffs. The marquee even featured 25 games last season, won by Steve Smith-led Washington Freedom. Washington Freedom defeated San Francisco Unicorns by 96 runs in the final of the previous edition. MI New York were the champions in the inaugural season.

The United States of America’s top-tier T20 tournament, Major League Cricket 2025, is all set to commence on Friday, June 13 with last season’s finalists, Washington Freedom and San Francisco Unicorns squaring off against each other at the Oakland Coliseum stadium in California.

The top two teams will meet in Qualifier while the third and fourth-placed sides will square off in the Eliminator. The winner of the Qualifier advances directly to the final. The losing team from the Qualifier will then face the winning side from the Eliminator in the Challenger match for the second berth in the final.
