The eight-team tournament’s champions will get US$2.24 million (about INR 20 crore) in addition to the trophy they will lift on March 9th, marking the first time the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy has been held since 2017. With a total prize fund of $6.9 million, a 53% increase over the 2017 event, the runners-up will take home $1.12 million, while the losing semi-finalists will each earn $560,000.
At the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy, every game matters, as the winning side receives over $34,000 for each group match victory. The fifth and sixth-place teams will each receive $350,000, while the seventh and eighth-place teams will receive $140,000.
The exciting two-week competition, which will feature matches in Karachi, Lahore, and Rawalpindi, is the first international cricket tournament to be held in Pakistan since 1996.
The eight teams are split into two groups of four for this year’s event, and the top two teams from each group advance to the semi-finals.
The world’s top eight ODI sides will compete in the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy every four years, while the Women’s Champions Trophy will debut in 2027 in a T20 format.
ICC Chair Jay Shah said, “The ICC Men’s Champions Trophy 2025 represents a pivotal moment for cricket, reviving a tournament that highlights the pinnacle of ODI talent, where every match is critical. The substantial prize pot underscores the ICC’s ongoing commitment to investing in the sport and maintaining the global prestige of our events. Beyond the financial incentive, this tournament ignites fierce competition, captivates fans worldwide, and plays a vital role in fostering the growth and long-term sustainability of cricket for future generations.”
