The decision to reschedule the league was taken in view of the extended IPL 2025 season, which was impacted due to scheduling adjustments driven by national interest considerations.

The highly anticipated tournament will witness four matches every day, two at each venue, during the league stage. The Wankhede Stadium will host fixtures at 2.30 PM and 7.30 PM while matches will begin at 10.30 AM and 5.30 PM respectively at the DY Patil Stadium.

“The decision to revise the schedule of the T20 Mumbai League 2025 was taken unanimously, following careful deliberation with the MCA Apex Council and the League’s Governing Council. In alignment with national interests and to avoid any overlap with the TATA IPL, we felt it was important to create a dedicated window that allows fans in Mumbai to enjoy a complete, immersive experience — celebrating their homegrown heroes in a league that returns after six years. We are confident that this edition of the T20 Mumbai League will unearth new stars who will carry forward Mumbai’s rich cricketing legacy,” said Abhay Hadap, secretary of MCA.

The T20 Mumbai League, one of India’s leading franchise-based domestic T20 tournaments, will feature 23 high-octane matches with the participation of India’s renowned players alongside Mumbai’s brightest talent.

The league will kick-off with a high-octane clash between ARCS Andheri, with icon player Shivam Dube, and SoBo Mumbai Falcons, featuring Shreyas Iyer, at the DY Patil Stadium. The venue will also host another fixture on the same day, as Triumph Knights Mumbai North East, spearheaded by Suryakumar Yadav, take on the Eagle Thane Strikers.

Each team will play five matches in the league stage with the top-4 advancing to the semi-finals, which are scheduled to take place on June 10 at the Wankhede Stadium. The final will also be held at the Wankhede Stadium on June 12. Both, the semi-finals and final, will have reserve days on June 11 and June 13 respectively, ensuring fair play in the event of weather disruptions.

Finally some good news for Mumbai cricket lovers! 🎉 After 6 years, our own T20 league is back. Smart scheduling after IPL - now we can enjoy non-stop cricket action. Wankhede matches in the evening will be perfect after office hours. Hope they keep ticket prices reasonable for local fans.

Excited to see Mumbai's young talent play alongside stars like SKY and Shreyas! But why only 9 days? Feels rushed. Would have preferred if matches were spread over 2-3 weeks with proper rest days for players. Also hope MCA arranges good transport between Wankhede and DY Patil for fans.

As a Thane resident, happy to see our team Eagle Thane Strikers getting representation! Hope this league gives platform to players from Mumbai suburbs who often get overlooked. DY Patil hosting matches is great for Navi Mumbai fans. Just hope the quality of cricket matches the famous Mumbai khadoos spirit!

Good initiative but June is peak monsoon time in Mumbai 🌧️. Why not schedule it in May before IPL or post-monsoon? Those reserve days might get used a lot! Otherwise great to see Mumbai cricket getting its own platform again after so long.

Finally some cricket where local players will get recognition! IPL is dominated by international stars. This league should focus on discovering new talent from Mumbai's maidans and gully cricket. Hope selectors are watching - Mumbai has given India so many legends, time for next generation!

Great to see women's matches aren't mentioned at all - typical MCA! 😒 When will we get equal opportunities? Mumbai has so many talented women cricketers who deserve similar platforms. Hope they at least organize exhibition matches alongside this tournament.
