A new season of the International League T20 (ILT20) is here to entertain fans in early 2025. The Emirates Cricket Board revealed the schedule for the ILT20 2025 season, which will take place in January-February 2025.
It’s a packed window around that time, with the ILT20 clashing with Australia’s BBL, New Zealand’s Super Smash, South Africa’s SA20, and Bangladesh’s BPL.
Nevertheless, the third season will start on January 11, with defending champions MI Emirates taking on Dubai Capitals in the opening match. There will be 34 matches in the league, including the playoffs.
Abu Dhabi Knight Riders, Desert Vipers, Gulf Giants, and Sharjah Warriorz are the other four participants. The six teams will play against one another in a double round-robin format.
After the league stage, the top four sides will advance to the playoffs, starting on February 5. Dubai will stage the summit clash of the ILT20 2025 on February 9.
Three venues across the Emirates will host the matches. Dubai will stage 15 games, with Abu Dhabi hosting 11 and eight games taking place in Sharjah.
