Major League Cricket’s fourth season ran from 18 June to 18 July 2026 and widened the competition’s physical footprint. The schedule began in Grand Prairie before moving through Oakland and Los Angeles, then returned to Texas and finished at the Oakland Coliseum.

Why the Los Angeles stop mattered

The Los Angeles segment gave the Knight Riders a first run of matches in their home market. That matters for a league whose six founding teams represent major American cities but have not always played regular-season matches in each home region.

The six-team field remained Los Angeles Knight Riders, MI New York, San Francisco Unicorns, Seattle Orcas, Texas Super Kings and Washington Freedom.
