Cognizant Major League Cricket Returns to Broward County with Exciting July Lineup

Broward County is set to become the epicenter of American cricket this summer as Cognizant Major League Cricket (MLC), the first professional Twenty20 league in the United States, brings its 2025 season to Broward County Stadium from July 1-6. Fans will have a unique opportunity to witness world-class cricket during a festive week that coincides with Independence Day celebrations.

A Global Sport Finds a Local Home

Following opening matches at the Oakland Coliseum (June 12-18) and Grand Prairie Cricket Stadium (June 20-29), the league’s third season will culminate with the playoffs and championship final in Grand Prairie from July 8-13. But the highlight for South Florida spectators is the six days of intense competition right in their backyard.

“Broward County Stadium is an exceptional venue for Cognizant Major League Cricket,” said Johnny Grave, CEO of MLC. “With recent renovations and strong community support, it’s fantastic to bring elite-level cricket to fans here and continue growing the game across the United States.”

Cricket’s worldwide popularity is undeniable, with more than 2.5 billion fans globally, ranking as the second-most-watched sport behind only soccer (WorldAtlas, 2024). South Florida’s diverse population—including vibrant South Asian, Caribbean, South African, and British communities—makes Broward County a natural hub for cricket’s expansion in North America.

“This tournament highlights the importance of Broward County as a center for professional cricket in the U.S. and beyond,” said County Commissioner Hazelle Rogers. “We’re excited to host fans and teams for this historic event.”

What to Expect During the Broward Week

From July 1-6, Broward County Stadium will host nine thrilling matches over six days, featuring:

– A high-energy Fourth of July doubleheader with marquee matchups
– A cultural fair celebrating international heritage
– Appearances by global cricket stars such as Faf du Plessis, Rashid Khan, Glenn Maxwell, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, David Warner, Jason Roy, Heinrich Klaasen, Shimron Hetmyer, and Nicholas Pooran

Fans can cheer on six MLC franchises: MI New York, Texas Super Kings, Los Angeles Knight Riders, San Francisco Unicorns, Seattle Orcas, and Washington Freedom.

Beyond the action on the field, visitors will enjoy cultural entertainment, diverse food vendors, giveaways, youth zones, and local business activations—making it a festival for all ages.
