With a roar of anticipation and the energy of a growing global movement, Cognizant Major League Cricket (MLC) has officially announced its triumphant return to Broward County Stadium this summer.
From July 1 to July 6, the sun-soaked grounds of Lauderhill, Florida, will host nine electrifying matches—including a marquee game on Independence Day—in what promises to be a celebration of world-class cricket and community spirit.
This marks the first time Broward County Stadium will welcome MLC games, and the moment couldn’t be more perfect. Riding the wave of excitement following the T20 World Cup and a series of high-profile international matches, the venue now stands ready to serve as a critical launchpad for cricket’s explosive growth in the United States.
“Broward County Stadium is an exceptional venue for Major League Cricket, and we’re excited about the possibility of hosting some of the world’s top cricket stars at such a great cricket facility,” shared Johnny Grave, CEO of Major League Cricket.
From international spotlight to American stage
Broward County Stadium, no stranger to top-tier cricket, previously dazzled fans with international showdowns between India and the West Indies in 2022 and 2023. In response to the surging demand and swelling fan base, the stadium recently underwent a transformation. Among the enhancements: covered grandstand seating for 8,150, a state-of-the-art broadcast center, fiber-optic upgrades, and a six-lane natural turf batting cage, turning it into a premier destination for elite cricket in the U.S.
“We continue to remain committed to the development of cricket and have engaged the youth in Broward County,” said Commissioner Hazelle Rogers. “This elite level of cricket highlights our stadium’s importance… I can’t wait for the games and look forward to seeing everyone there.”
Lauderhill ascends as a global cricket hub
For Jamaican-American Lauderhill Mayor Denise D. Grant, this moment is a citywide triumph—an intersection of vision, investment, and the unstoppable rise of cricket.
“This event not only showcases elite-level cricket but also solidifies Lauderhill’s position as a premier destination for international sports,” Mayor Grant remarked. “As cricket makes its Olympic debut in 2028, we are poised to see a surge in interest and participation.”
The 2025 season of MLC comes on the heels of cricket’s inclusion in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, marking its return to the global games after more than a century. For fans and future players alike, this signals a golden opportunity.
