The 2023 Major League Cricket season (also known as the 2023 MLC) was the inaugural season of the Major League Cricket,[1] a franchise Twenty20 cricket league established in 2019 by American Cricket Enterprises (ACE) in the United States.[2] The season was hosted at two venues, Grand Prairie Stadium in Grand Prairie, Texas and Church Street Park in Morrisville, North Carolina.[3] The season was played from July 13 to 30, 2023,[4] with MI New York defeating the Seattle Orcas by seven wickets to win the inaugural title.[5][6]
Background
Major League Cricket announced in November 2022 that its inaugural season would be played at Grand Prairie Stadium starting July 13 and concluding July 30.[7] MLC also revealed that the tournament would be played in a single round-robin format with fifteen league matches played among six franchises before a four-match play-off phase.[8][9]
In March 2023, the teams for the tournament were announced ahead of the league's inaugural draft – called the Texas Super Kings, the Seattle Orcas, the Los Angeles Knight Riders, the Washington Freedom, the MI New York, and the San Francisco Unicorns respectively.[10][11] The draft for the season was then held on March 19, with Harmeet Singh being picked first overall and Aaron Finch and Quinton de Kock among others highlighting the draft.[12][13] In the buildup to the season opener, teams signed multiple other players including Jason Roy, Adam Zampa, and Moises Henriques.[14]
In April, USA Cricket – the governing body of cricket in the United States – officially sanctioned the tournament following a dispute with tournament organizers, American Cricket Enterprises, that threatened to delay the launch of MLC.[15][16] Tournament fixtures were announced on June 12 – nearly two months later.[17][18] In addition, it also revealed that the tournament would be held at two venues, Grand Prairie Stadium and Church Street Park for the group stage,[19][20] while all playoff matches and the final would be held at Grand Prairie Stadium. Tickets for the matches were also made available on the same day.[21]
