The 2025 Caribbean Premier League (CPL) will run from August 14 to September 21. CPL and Cricket West Indies (CWI) have agreed upon the window to avoid any clashes with the international schedule of the Men in Maroon.
Six teams — Antigua & Barbuda Falcons, Barbados Royals, Guyana Amazon Warriors, St Kitts & Nevis Patriots, Saint Lucia Kings and Trinbago Knight Riders — will compete across 34 matches to decide the winner.
“We are pleased to have once again worked with Cricket West Indies to find a window that allows the very best players from across the region to take part in the CPL. The 2024 season was our most successful to date and we are looking forward to building on that success in 2025,” Pete Russell, CEO of the Republic Bank CPL said in a statement.
“We are delighted to confirm the 2025 CPL window,” Lynford Inverary, Cricket West Indies acting CEO and COO, said. “While CWI continues to take a leading role in shaping our overall cricket calendar, the CPL remains a key part of our cricketing ecosystem, playing an important role in the development and promotion of the game throughout the Caribbean. Our collaboration with CPL ensures that the best talent will be on display while avoiding any conflicts with international cricket.”
St Lucia Kings are the defending champions after beating the Guyana Amazon Warriors in 2024 to clinch their first CPL title. The finals of the 2025 season will be held in Guyana, in a deal that was agreed in May 2024.
Mohammed Irfan Ali, President of Guyana, had said then: “I want to take this opportunity to wish Guyana Amazon Warriors all success on behalf of all Guyanese as we try to make it two in a row. To all the other teams we wish you well as we play together in unity. I am also very delighted to announce that Guyana will be hosting CPL 2025 finals.”
The exact dates and times for the fixtures will be revealed at a later date. The composition of all six teams will also be decided closer to the tournament after they have made their pre-draft retentions and draft picks. This will be the 14th edition of the tournament.
