Leicestershire will travel to Wales for their 2025 season opener, beginning the newly sponsored Rothesay County Championship away at Glamorgan on Friday, 4 April.

Alfonso Thomas’ side will then get their home campaign underway against East Midlands counterparts Derbyshire at Uptonsteel County Ground (11 April), before consecutive away trips to Lancashire (18 April) and Gloucestershire (25 April) round off the opening month.

Foxes fans can look forward to another Lord’s visit in mid-May with Leicestershire facing Middlesex (16 May), while a home clash against Lancashire (23 May) ends seven rounds of Championship action before the Vitality Blast begins.

ONE DAY CUP:

For the third time in four years, the Foxes will kick off their One Day Cup campaign away at Surrey. Next summer’s iteration will see a return to Guildford (6 August), where Nick Welch’s 100 helped Leicestershire to an opening round win in 2022.

A trip to Bristol follows, as the Foxes face Gloucestershire (10 August), before the popular annual outground visit to Kibworth sees Alfonso Thomas’ side lock horns with East Midlands rivals Notts Outlaws (13 August).

Away days to Utilita Bowl and Sophia Gardens are also on the cards, with fixtures against Hampshire (15 August) and Glamorgan (26 August) set to test the 2023 champions’ credentials.

Sunday home clashes against Essex (17 August) and Worcestershire (24 August) form part of a busy week at Uptonsteel County Ground, with Derbyshire Falcons (20 August) also making the trip to Aylestone during the business end of the group stage.
