The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 promises to be a spectacular cricket extravaganza, running from March 14 to May 25. Featuring 10 teams and over 70 thrilling matches, including playoffs and the grand finale, the tournament will be hosted at iconic venues like Wankhede Stadium, M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Arun Jaitley Cricket Stadium, Eden Gardens, Narendra Modi Stadium, and MA Chidambaram Stadium.
The competing franchises include Chennai Super Kings, Delhi Capitals, Gujarat Titans, Kolkata Knight Riders, Lucknow Super Giants, Mumbai Indians, Punjab Kings, Rajasthan Royals, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Captains and star players from each team are gearing up for this marquee event.
The league phase will follow a format where each team plays 14 matches. The playoff structure remains unchanged: the top two teams compete in Qualifier 1, while the third and fourth-placed teams face off in the Eliminator. The winner of the Eliminator then plays the loser of Qualifier 1 for a chance to secure a spot in the final.
