The 2023 Minor League Cricket season (branded as the 2023 Sunoco Minor League Cricket championship [1] for sponsorship reasons and sometimes shortened to 2023 MiLC) was the third season of Minor League Cricket, [2] established by USA Cricket (USAC) and Major League Cricket (MLC) in 2019. [3] Sunoco returned from the previous season as title sponsor, with Laxmi Foods and Bru Coffee also tapped as official sponsors. [4] [5] The season was hosted over 19 venues across the United States from August 4 to October 7. [6] [7]
The tournament was won by the Dallas Mustangs, who defeated the New Jersey Somerset Cavaliers in the finals by 44 runs, [8] [9] with Andries Gous of the Dallas Mustangs winning the award for the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the tournament. [10] [11] The Seattle Thunderbolts were the defending champions. [12]
Ahead of the 2023 season, the former Florida Beamers franchise collapsed and was discontinued, leading to the creation of the newly formed Dallas Xforia Giants. [13] The Hollywood Master Blasters was also discontinued ahead of the season. Additionally, following a buyout by the Kingsmen Global Sports Group, the former Chicago Blasters underwent a name change to the Chicago Kingsmen, [14] with the former DC Hawks also undergoing a name change to the Baltimore Royals. [2]
A complete list of ground venues, along with the 2023 season's schedule, was released on July 31. [15]
