The ICC has unveiled the fixtures and groupings for the highly anticipated ICC Champions Trophy 2025, set to kick off on February 19 in Karachi and conclude with the final on March 9.

This edition of the tournament will feature 15 matches across Pakistan and Dubai, with eight teams battling for supremacy. Pakistan’s Rawalpindi, Lahore, and Karachi will serve as the venues for the tournament, with each hosting three group-stage games. The second semi-final will take place in Lahore, which will also host the final on March 9 — unless India qualify, in which case the match will be moved to Dubai. Both semi-finals and the final will have reserve days.

The tournament begins in Karachi with Pakistan facing New Zealand on February 19. The Dubai leg starts the following day with India taking on Bangladesh. Group B action starts on February 21, with Afghanistan locking horns with South Africa in Karachi.

The action heats up as England and Australia face off in Lahore on February 22, followed by the much-awaited Pakistan vs. India clash on February 23.

The teams competing in the Champions Trophy are the top eight finishers from the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023, divided into two groups: Group A includes Pakistan (hosts), India, New Zealand, and Bangladesh, while Group B features World Cup 2023 champions Australia, Afghanistan, England, and South Africa.


The schedule for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be announced on December 16.
