IPL 2025 to be played from March 14 to May 25

In an unprecedented move, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced the dates for the next three IPL seasons. The 2025 season will run from March 14 (Friday) to May 25 (Sunday).

The BCCI has also disclosed the schedules for the following two seasons.

The early announcement of the league schedule marks a refreshing shift from the BCCI and IPL officials, who have often waited until the last minute to release the dates in previous years. The reason for this change is the league now benefits from a clearly defined international window.
