USA Cricket’s MLC just scored a major venue win—Oakland Coliseum is all set to light up with cricket action in 2025! The iconic stadium, once the home turf of the Oakland Athletics, will host nine thrilling Major League Cricket matches, including the season opener on June 12. It’s a huge moment for cricket in the USA, and fans from the Cricket Army can’t wait.
With USA Cricket’s MLC season heating up, the Coliseum will debut its cricket setup at a reduced 12,000-seat capacity, offering a more intimate, electric atmosphere. San Francisco Unicorns will clash with defending champs Washington Freedom in the opener, with two more Unicorns home games and five other matches lined up.
Oakland’s sporting legacy goes cricket
The 63,000-seat Oakland Coliseum has hosted baseball, football, and concerts for over five decades. It’s part of the massive Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Complex, also home to the 19,200-seat Oakland Arena.
