Matches will be held in Karachi, Lahore, and Rawalpindi, Pakistan. Three league games each are held at Rawalpindi, Karachi, and Lahore. In addition to league games, Lahore will host the tournament’s second semifinal and, should India not advance to the title match, the final.
The Champions Trophy 2025 semifinal and final will have a backup reserve day incase of rains. Dubai will host the first semifinal, while Lahore will host the second on March 4 and 5, respectively.
The Champions Trophy semifinal and final will be separated by three days, and if the rain cancels the knockout match, the action will move to a reserve day. India’s performance will determine the location of the grand final; if they advance to the final, the match will be held in Dubai; if not, the title match will be held in Lahore. Both finalists will compete on March 10, which is a reserve day, if the March 9 final is postponed.
