- May 27, 2025
There is just something magical about English summers: the sun shines, you eat warm scones, and you smash sixes beneath the golden sky of an English evening. The T20 Blast 2025 is set to take off right on cue and put yet another season of explosive entertainment in store. With 133 games, 18 county teams and a packed calendar from 29 May to 13 September, the T20 Blast 2025 has more action planned than that glorious moment of a last-ball finish at Edgbaston. Whether you’re a committed county fan or a feeder-style cricket lover, there’s something for everyone in this highly entertaining package.
North vs South: The Rivalries That Make the Blast Sparkle
Let’s be real—half the T20 Blast fun is the bragging rights. In true county style, the 18 counties split into two regional groups; we have North and South. Picture the tension of a Premier League top-six battle, but replace late goals with last-over thrillers and red cards with toe-crushing yorkers.
The North is blessed with teams like Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Nottinghamshire—teams with obvious firepower and loyal fan bases. Down in the South, Surrey, Hampshire, and Essex are going head-to-head in a battle that feels like an underground T20 turf war. The teams each play 14 games within their groups; it is a battle of local pride, not just points.
What’s even better? Everyone starts on May 29. A cricket carnival starts with everyone in action: Lancashire vs Worcestershire and Middlesex vs Sussex as the stars of the opening night.
Squads Stacked With Stars (And A Few Surprises)
The squads for the 2025 season are a mix of established internationals, developing county stars, and some interesting players who are relatively unknown but could shake things up a bit.
Of course, you have the household names—Jos Buttler (Lancashire), Sam Curran (Surrey), Jofra Archer (Sussex), Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow (Yorkshire)—who are the glamour and firepower. But look a little deeper and you’ll see some interesting prospects like Leus du Plooy (Middlesex), Rehan Lord (Notts), and Ben Kellaway (Glamorgan) who could make a splash.
Counties like Somerset and Leicestershire are strengthening solid all-round sides, and Durham and Essex have both managed to build bowling lineups that could cause carnage in any given conditions. Of course, there are a couple of foreign players sprinkled within. Dean Elgar at Essex and Moises Henriques at Notts give a nice touch of local flavor.
Finals Day, Streaming & Must-Watch Moments
Set your reminders for September 13: Finals Day hits Edgbaston, turning the iconic ground into a celebration of cricket at its peak. But before that, it’s a dramatic pathway to the top four in each group. The quarter-finals, which take place from September 3-6, will determine which few can survive the mayhem and make it to the semis.
Thinking of how to catch every moment? Sit back, we’ve done the hard work for you. British fans can tune in via Sky Sports, Aussies can stream the action on Kayo, and in India, it’s all unfolding on Sony LIV and FanCode—no boundary missed, no moment forgotten.
Ready, Set, Blast!
The T20 Blast 2025 isn’t just a tournament, it’s a summer-long journey into the world of cricket rivalry, records, and emotion. With a great collection of teams, an exciting format and schedule that piles the cricket on thick, this summer promises to be a genuine humdinger.
Whether you’re following every minute or just watching the important matches, one thing is for sure: it will be a blasting summer. So, which team are you backing to lift the trophy on September 13?
