The Seattle Orcas are an American professional Twenty20 cricket team based in the Seattle metropolitan area that competes in Major League Cricket (MLC). The team's planned home ground is in Marymoor Park in Redmond, Washington.
The franchise was announced in 2023 as one of six inaugural franchises to play in the league. The team is owned by an investor group including Satya Nadella, Soma Somasegar, Samir Bodas, Ashok Krishnamurthi, and Sanjay Parthasarathy—and the GMR Group. The Orcas have a minor league affiliate called the Seattle Thunderbolts, who play in Minor League Cricket and were the 2022 champions. The team is coached by former Indian cricketer Pravin Amre.
