Tournament Details

The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will kick off on February 19, with host and defending champions Pakistan taking on New Zealand in the curtain-raiser at Karachi’s National Bank Stadium.

The tournament will feature eight teams playing 15 matches over 19 days across Pakistan and Dubai. In Pakistan, the matches will be held at three venues: Rawalpindi, Lahore, and Karachi. Lahore will host the second semi-final and the final on March 9. However, if India makes it to the final, the match will be played in Dubai.

Both semi-finals and the final will have reserve days to account for any weather disruptions.

Given the tense political relations between India and Pakistan, the three group matches involving India will be played in Dubai. The first semi-final will also take place in Dubai, ensuring a neutral venue for high-stakes games.
