ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Schedule, Fixtures, & Venues
The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be the ninth edition of the Champions Trophy, a cricket tournament for the eight top-ranked One Day International (ODI) men's national teams organized by the International Cricket Council (ICC).
The upcoming Champions Trophy will be hosted by Pakistan who also happen to be the defending champions having won the last edition in 2017.
Pakistan was announced as the host of the ICC Champions Trophy on 16 November 2021, during the 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup.
It will be the first global tournament that Pakistan has been the sole host for since the 2009
attack on the Sri Lanka national cricket team.
ICC Champions Trophy 2025 schedule
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has proposed a tentative list of fixtures and match venues to the ICC for Champions Trophy 2025.
According to the proposed schedule, the tournament will take place from 19th February to 9th March 2025.
All the matches of the Champions Trophy will be played across three venues in Pakistan i.e, Karachi, Lahore, and Rawalpindi.
After the ODI Cricket World Cup, the ICC Champions Trophy is the next big tournament in the 50-over format.
The CT 2025 will be contested by the top eight teams from last year’s ODI World Cup. The eight teams will be divided into two groups of four with the top two teams from each group advancing to the semi-finals.
Here’s the tentative schedule for ICC Champions Trophy 2025:

Champions Trophy 2025 groups
Like every ICC tournament, the Champions trophy will also have a group stage before the knockout rounds. For that matter, the teams are divided into two groups of four.
Group A: India, Pakistan, New Zealand, Bangladesh
Group B: England, South Africa, Australia, Afghanistan
Arch-rivals India and Pakistan are in the same group which means the tournament will have a guaranteed match between them.
Keeping in mind India’s security concerns, the PCB has chosen Lahore as the venue for all of their matches.
However, there is still no clarity on whether India will travel to their neighboring country after opting not to last year for Asia Cup 2023.
While the round-robin phase ends on 2nd March, the two semi-finals will be held in Karachi and Rawalpindi on 5th and 6th March respectively, with the final scheduled for Lahore on 9th March.
ICC Champions Trophy 2025 venues
