Texas Super Kings

What Texas Super Kings does

Texas Super Kings is a privately held professional cricket franchise competing in Major League Cricket (MLC), the USA-based T20 league that launched in 2023. The franchise is based in Grand Prairie, Texas, with operational presence in Dallas, and plays matches at Grand Prairie Stadium and the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum. It is owned by the Chennai Super Kings IPL franchise in partnership with Texas-based investors Anurag Jain and Ross Perot Jr., combining an established international cricket brand with prominent local business figures.

The franchise generates revenue through three primary streams: sponsorship deals with corporate partners (including Access Healthcare, Valero, BONbLOC Technologies, BRU, and Xoom) that receive brand visibility across digital platforms, matchday activations, and fan engagement channels; match revenue from hosting fixtures including ticket sales and matchday operations; and academy and training programs that develop local cricket talent. Its primary customer segments are cricket enthusiasts in the United States—particularly the South Asian diaspora in Texas and California—and corporate sponsors seeking access to this audience.

Texas Super Kings participates in MLC's six-franchise structure, which operates a season of 34 matches across venues in Texas, Oakland, and California. The franchise leverages its ownership linkage to the Chennai Super Kings brand for marketing, talent recruitment (notably captain Faf du Plessis, MLC's all-time leading centurion), and operational methodology transfer. As a sports franchise, it does not develop software products or technology services; its core product is professional cricket competition and the associated entertainment, community engagement, and commercial inventory that franchise status enables.
