MLC 2024: Start date, final, schedule and fixtures for Major League Cricket 2024

Last year, the ever-growing set of T20 franchise leagues received its latest addition as the USA Cricket board set up Major League Cricket, a league based on the general format of various leagues like the IPL.

There was also IPL investment in the teams for MLC 2023, as MI New York, Los Angeles Knight Riders and Texas Super Kings were all set up along the lines of Mumbai Indians, Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings respectively.

MI New York won the inaugural edition of the tournament, beating Seattle Orcas in the final. Now, the tournament is all set to return for its second season in 2024.

What is the format of MLC 2024?

A total of 6 teams will participate in MLC 2024. Each team plays the other nine in a round-robin home and away format with the top four qualifying for the play-off. The top two teams in the league will compete in the Qualifier and the winner will make it to the final. The third and fourth-placed teams will compete in an Eliminator. The winner of the eliminator will compete against the team who lost the Qualifier in a Challenger. The winner of the Challenger will then make it to the final.

What time will the matches start in India?

Because the USA spans several different time zones, matches start at different times in India. Most games will start at 6:00 AM, but a few also begin at 1:00 AM and 12:30 AM.
