Fact check: Did The Simpsons predict Pakistan winning Champions Trophy 2025?

Social media is abuzz with claims that The Simpsons, the globally popular animated series, has predicted Pakistan’s triumph in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

However, these claims have been proven false, as the circulated images were generated using artificial intelligence (AI) and do not originate from the show.

While The Simpsons has a history of seemingly predicting real-world events—such as Donald Trump’s presidency, Kamala Harris's political rise, and California’s wildfires—there is no authentic reference to Pakistan’s cricket team winning the Champions Trophy.

Pakistan is set to host the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, with its team considered among the top four contenders alongside India, England, and New Zealand.

For the first time in the tournament’s history, Australia is not ranked among the favorites, as four of its key players have been sidelined due to fitness issues.

The viral AI-generated images serve as a reminder for social media users to verify information before sharing, as misinformation continues to spread online.
