The World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025 has stamped its authority as cricket’s hottest nostalgia-fuelled league. The latest season pulled in a jaw-dropping 409 million viewers worldwide, a 20 per cent jump from last year.

WCL 2025 Dominates Global Broadcast And Digital Platforms

And here’s the kicker, even without an India vs Pakistan clash, the buzz was off the charts. Fans waited eagerly for a possible India vs Pakistan match but even without it, conversations around the rivalry lit up social media like wildfire. The chatter itself was enough to push WCL’s reach to new heights across broadcast and digital platforms.

The final between Pakistan Champions and South Africa Champions turned into a thrilling clash. In the UK, it ranked among the most-watched shows on Sony Max.

In Pakistan, it drew a massive TRP of 6.1, beating several bilateral series ratings. And thanks to AB de Villiers’ heroics, India too couldn’t stop talking about it as the WCL finale trended across major platforms.

Legends Light Up The Stage

AB de Villiers showed fans why he’s called Mr. 360, showing off not just his explosive batting but also some jaw-dropping fielding. Big names like Yuvraj Singh, Irfan Pathan, Shikhar Dhawan, Kieron Pollard, Dwayne Bravo, Moeen Ali, Chris Lynn, Wayne Parnell and D’Arcy Short brought their A-game, keeping fans glued from first ball to last.

The season had it all: last-ball thrillers, a rare bowl-out after 18 years and a thrilling comeback from India Champions to book their knockout spot. The semi-finals had fans on the edge of their seats, before the grand finale sealed WCL’s reputation as a proper cricketing product.

Sanctioned by the England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB), WCL isn’t just a gimmick. It’s positioned itself as the “Legends World Cup”, a celebration of cricket’s golden era with a modern-day twist. And with promoters already planning to add two new teams, the future looks even brighter.

With record-breaking viewership, global fan engagement and legends turning back the clock, WCL 2025 has become the ultimate stage for cricket lovers who can’t get enough of the game’s golden oldies.
