The Major League Cricket’s (MLC) third edition is currently underway. And as the league has turned three, it has expanded to three venues.
Two of those venues are hosting the matches for the first time, while one continues to hold its prominence.
So here are the three stadiums that will stage the month-long MLC 2025 season.
Oakland Coliseum, California
First up is the Oakland Coliseum, located in California. The venue will make its MLC debut on June 12 with the season opener.
The stadium once hosted baseball and American football matches. But now it will be home to San Francisco Unicorns in the MLC.
The Coliseum will feature two drop-in pitches. These are the same ones used at the modular stadium in New York for the 2024 T20 World Cup. As many as nine games will take place at the new facility in the first leg.

The Grand Prairie Stadium is a major venue in USA cricket, with significant MLC games played here. This season as well, the venue will stage 16 matches, including the playoffs.

While the Lauderhill-based stadium is the first-ever cricket-specific venue in the USA, it will make its MLC debut in 2025.
The venue, situated in Florida, has hosted many international matches, especially T20I games. It has batter-friendly conditions, with T20 matches often recording huge scores.
The Florida venue will host nine matches, including three double headers, in the third phase of the league.
