This is not cricket arriving in America. It is cricket picking up where it left off two centuries ago, this time with a much bigger crowd watching.
Why is this being called a new season for cricket in America?
Cricket in America is not new. The earliest reference to the game being played on American soil dates to 1709, and Manhattan hosted what is recognised as the first international cricket match in the world in 1844, the United States against Canada, decades before the first international soccer or baseball fixture. Philadelphia ran a thriving first-class cricket scene from 1878 to 1913, with crowds that rivalled baseball at the time.
The sport faded through the Civil War and the early 20th century as baseball took over as the national pastime. Cricket's American revival started with South Asian and Caribbean immigration in the late 20th century and has accelerated fast in the last few years. USA Cricket now counts over 300,000 players across more than 400 leagues nationwide. The 2024 T20 World Cup, co-hosted on US soil, brought 190,000 fans through the gates and 2.7 million US-based visitors to ICC digital platforms, a 370% jump on the previous tournament. Major League Cricket's 2026 season, running June 18 to July 18 across stadiums in Texas and California, is the clearest sign yet that cricket has a genuine American audience again.
