The opener of the 2025 season saw Finn Allen set the stage alight with a record ton. The league phase will continue until July 6, followed by the playoffs beginning on July 9. The final is scheduled for July 13 (July 14 in India) and will be held at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas.
MLC 2025 will feature 34 matches, including 30 league games played in a double round-robin format, where each of the six participating teams will face one another twice. The six franchises competing this season are MI New York (the inaugural champions), Los Angeles Knight Riders, Seattle Orcas, Texas Super Kings, San Francisco Unicorns, and the reigning champions, Washington Freedom.
The top four teams after the league stage will move on to the playoffs.
