The 2025 Champions Trophy is all set to get underway on Wednesday, February 19, with a match between hosts Pakistan and New Zealand at the National Stadium in Karachi. This year's competition will be the ninth edition of the ICC event. Pakistan are the defending champions in the one-day tournament. They beat India by 180 runs in the 2017 final played at The Oval.
A total of eight teams are featuring in the 2025 Champions Trophy. India, Pakistan, New Zealand, and Bangladesh are in Group A. Australia, South Africa, England, and Afghanistan have been placed in Group B. The top two teams from each group will qualify for the semifinals to be played on March 4 and March 5. The final of the mega event will be held on March 9.
Champions Trophy 2025 matches will be held at three venues across Pakistan - National Stadium in Karachi, Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore and Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi. India, however, will play all their matches in Dubai in a hybrid format. While the final is scheduled to be held in Lahore, the match would be moved to Dubai in case India qualify.
