Summary
Officials from Major League Cricket announced in April that they will move the league's corporate headquarters from San Francisco to Grand Prairie and that Grand Prairie will host every game of the 2025 MLC playoffs, including the championship final on July 13, Mayor Ron Jensen said in his May 2025 message.
Officials from Major League Cricket announced in April that they will move the league's corporate headquarters from San Francisco to Grand Prairie, Texas, and that Grand Prairie will host every game of the 2025 Major League Cricket playoffs, including the championship final on July 13, Mayor Ron Jensen said in his May 2025 mayoral message.
The announcement, delivered as part of Jensen's monthly message, follows this year's regular season for the Texas Super Kings at Grand Prairie Stadium. Jensen said Major League Cricket officials were in Grand Prairie in April to make the relocation announcement.
Why it matters: hosting a professional sports league's headquarters and playoff schedule can affect venue use, marketing and visitor traffic for the city. Jensen framed the news as part of a busy month of city events and community offerings.
In the same message, Jensen highlighted two new mobile library buses arriving in Grand Prairie. He said each of the two buses is "packed with over $1,500 in both English and Spanish, along with Wi Fi and a range of library services." Jensen did not specify in the message whether the "$1,500" figure referred to a dollar value of materials or a count of items.
Jensen also listed several May community events: BugFest will return to Lynn Creek Park at Joe Pool Lake on May 17 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.; the mayor will lead a "Cycling with the Mayor and Community Fair" at Tyre Park in the Dalworth neighborhood on May 22; the city's annual Memorial Day service is scheduled for May 26 at Veterans Park, with a flyover noted by the mayor; and Epic Central will host Grand Prairie's first Texas Monthly Taco Fest on Saturday, May 31, from 5 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., which Jensen described as featuring the top 15 taco spots in Texas.
The remarks were part of Jensen's prepared monthly mayoral message for May 2025; no formal city action, approvals or funding decisions were described in the message.
