The San Francisco Unicorns are an American franchise cricket team, planned to be based in San Francisco, California, that competes in Major League Cricket (MLC).[1] In 2023, it was announced as one of the six teams to participate in the league's inaugural season. The team is owned by Anand Rajaraman and Venky Harinarayan, co-founders of Cambrian ventures.
Plans are underway to build a stadium at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds.[1] The stadium is expected to have a capacity of 15,000 people. The team currently plays at Grand Prairie Stadium in Texas and will continue to do so until the new stadium is completed.[2] In March 2023, Cricket Victoria announced their partnership with the Unicorns for the opening season.[3]
