As in previous iterations of this competition, eight city-based teams will compete for the men's and women's titles during the month of August 2025, from the 5th to the 31st. [5]
The eight city-based teams will compete over 64 matches in the group stage (32 men's, 32 women's). All of the men's and women's matches will be held on the same day at the same grounds, with one ticket giving access to both contests.
Each team will play four matches at home and four matches away. This includes one match against every other side in the competition and then a bonus match against their nearest regional rivals.
After the league stage is complete, the top three teams will compete in the knockout stage to decide the ultimate champions. The second and third teams will meet in an eliminator at The Oval in London. The winner of the eliminator will then meet the team that finishes top of the league, in the final at Lord's. [6]
