Published on December 15, 2023

The pageantry of America's birthday will adorn Major League Cricket's return to play next summer, with the competition set to open its second season on the Fourth of July. The window of play for the premier T20 tournament in the United States will conclude by early August, with the exact dates and schedule of play to be announced in early 2024.

"The tremendous success of the inaugural Major League Cricket season provides a perfect platform to propel American cricket to even greater heights in 2024," said Justin Geale, Tournament Director, Major League Cricket. "We expect to see even more world class players taking part in season two of Major League Cricket, creating an incredible summer for the sport in America along with the ICC Men's T20 World Cup."

All six teams who competed in MLC's historic inaugural season will feature again in 2024. Matches are set to return to Grand Prairie Stadium in Grand Prairie, TX and at additional venues to be named later.

MLC's debut season in 2023 transformed the landscape of American cricket, bringing world class domestic T20 action to the United States for the first time with a majority of the matches played in front of sold-out crowds in Texas and North Carolina. Dozens of the world's best cricketers competed alongside the nation's top domestic talent across 19 matches, with MI New York claiming the inaugural crown, defeating the Seattle Orcas in the championship final.
