The fan event, produced in association with the Northern California Cricket Association (NCCA) and Indus Cricket Club, occurs just under one week before The Unicorns’ first ball against MI New York on July 14 at the league’s newly-constructed venue, Grand Prairie Stadium, in Grand Prairie, TX.

The final two games of the Unicorns’ five-match schedule will move the team east to Church Street Park in Morrisville, North Carolina. Playoffs and the Championship Game will take place at Grand Prairie Stadium.

The San Francisco Unicorns will be joined by five other teams from major U.S. metropolitan areas – representing Dallas, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., Seattle, and New York City – who will each feature world-renowned cricket stars on their respective rosters alongside the best talent based in the United States, playing the fast-paced and exciting T20 format of the game.

In partnership with MLC, the Unicorns are planning to build a world-class stadium in the Bay Area, which will seat up to 15,000 people and be capable of hosting major international cricket events.
