The ICC Champions Trophy is a prestigious global cricket tournament held under the governance of the International Cricket Council (ICC). Renowned for its shorter duration than the ODI World Cup, the tournament features high-stakes encounters between the world's top eight ranked cricketing nations. The tournament debuted in 1998 in Bangladesh under the name "ICC KnockOut" and was rebranded as the "ICC Champions Trophy" in 2002. Initially held every two years, it transitioned to a four-year cycle from 2009 onward.

Following an eight-year absence, the ICC Champions Trophy will return in 2025, with Pakistan and the UAE serving as hosts. Pakistan will hold matches at three different venues, while the Dubai International Cricket Stadium will host all fixtures scheduled in the UAE. The tournament will feature 15 matches in total, comprising 12 group-stage games, two semi-finals, and a final to determine the champion.
