The announcement came shortly before the defending CPL champions, Guyana Amazon Warriors, secured their place in the 2024 final. President of Guyana, Mohammed Irfan Ali, expressed pride in the team’s achievement and excitement about hosting the 2025 final. “I want to take this opportunity to wish Guyana Amazon Warriors all success as we try to make it two in a row," he said. "To all the other teams, we wish you well as we play together in unity. I am also very delighted to announce that Guyana will be hosting CPL 2025 finals."

Pete Russell, CEO of CPL, emphasised the importance of both host nations in the league’s history. “Guyana and Barbados have been amazing partners for CPL over the last 12 years and it is really exciting to be able to announce that they will be hosts for the finals in 2025 and 2026 respectively," Russell said, thanking the governments of both nations for their support.
