On February 16, 2025, the BCCI revealed the much-anticipated schedule for IPL 2025. The richest T20 league will return for its 18th edition in March 2025.
The IPL 2025 will get underway on March 22, with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) opening the proceedings against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). The opening night will be followed by the first double-header. Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will take on Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the afternoon, while the El Clasico between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (MI) will take centre stage in the evening.
There are 74 matches in the league, including the playoffs, played over two months. As usual, 10 teams will feature in the league, virtually split into two groups.
The teams will face their group members and a side from the opposite group twice, while they will meet the other teams once each. In all, there are 70 league-stage games with 12 double-headers.
The IPL 2025 Playoffs will begin on May 20, with Hyderabad staging Qualifier 1 and Eliminator (May 21). The action will then move to Eden Gardens in Kolkata for Qualifier 2 (May 23) and Final (May 25).
