On March 26, 2025, it was announced that Major League Cricket (MLC) will host games at Oakland Coliseum, transforming it into a home for the new Bay Area team, the Unicorns. Cricket, the world's second-most popular sport, arrives in an area with a strong fan base. This partnership aims to generate local jobs, community involvement, and revenue, while revitalizing the Coliseum as a prominent venue. The MLC's presence signals a significant push for cricket's growth in the U.S., with ticket sales starting shortly after this announcement.
"We are beyond thrilled to bring the San Francisco Unicorns to the Coliseum for our home matches in 2025," said David White, CEO of the San Francisco Unicorns. "The Bay Area has a deep and growing fan base for cricket, and we look forward to showcasing the sport at one of the most iconic venues in American sports."
"Cricket is the second most popular sport in the world, with over 3 billion fans globally. The historic Oakland Coliseum is the perfect venue for our home games."
