The 2025 T20 Blast (also known as 2025 Vitality Blast for sponsorship reasons) will be the 23rd edition of the T20 Blast (currently known as the Vitality Blast), a professional Twenty20 cricket league played in England and Wales. The tournament will take place from 29 May to 13 September 2025.[1][2] The domestic T20 competition was run by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and was branded as the Vitality Blast due to the tournament's sponsorship.[3] Gloucestershire are the defending champions, having won their maiden title during the previous season.[4] On 21 November 2024, the ECB announced the fixtures for the tournament.[2]
