IPL 2025 revised schedule announced by BCCI: Check full schedule here

Mon, 12 May 2025 22:42:01 GMT

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 is back on track, with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) officially announcing the new schedule on May 12, 2025. The tournament, which was suspended on May 9 because of rising tensions between India and Pakistan, will resume on May 17 with a big-ticket encounter between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Bengaluru's M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. A May 10 ceasefire deal cleared the way for the return of the T20 league, much to the relief of fans and stakeholders.

The BCCI decided to resume the IPL following a one-week suspension caused by security issues, such as the sudden cancellation of the Punjab Kings vs. Delhi Capitals match in Dharamsala on May 8 due to air raid warnings. With the situation easing, the board has scheduled 17 games across six grounds—Bengaluru, Delhi, Jaipur, Lucknow, Mumbai, and Ahmedabad—leading up to the final on June 3, 2025. The new schedule has two double-headers on Sundays so that the season will be over within the new timeframe.

In its press release, the BCCI laid stress on national interest and safety, stating, "After far-reaching consultations with government and security agencies, and with all key stakeholders, the Board has resolved to go ahead with the rest of the season." The board also thanked India's armed forces, stating further, "The BCCI salutes the courage and resilience of India's armed forces, whose initiatives have made it possible for cricket to return safely, while renewing its commitment to the country."

IPL 2025: Likely revised schedule as tournament set to resume next week

Sat, 10 May 2025 19:44:20 GMT

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 was suspended on May 9, 2025, after a match between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Delhi Capitals (DC) was canceled on May 8, 2025, due to security issues. It appears that the IPL will be suspended for approximately one week, according to the web results, meaning that it will most likely resume on May 16, 2025. There were 16 matches remaining scheduled, and the BCCI has finalized three cities to host these matches. As the match between PBKS and DC was abandoned, we could reasonably expect this fixture to be included when the rescheduled schedule is announced. We anticipate two matches on Saturday and Sunday, with a rematch of PBKS and DC included in the anticipated total.

The IPL 2025 was suspended for a week as the military tensions between India and Pakistan grew, arising from the Pahalgam terror attack of April 22 and India’s subsequent Operation Sindoor. The BCCI made the decision to suspend the IPL. There were still security threats and even a bomb threat to the franchise's facilities, including Dharmashala and the DDCA Stadium of Delhi, which all raised questions about the safety of players. The overseas players' perceived anxieties, which further delayed logistics, in addition to wanting a safer environment, contributed to the suspension. Accordingly, after completion of ceasefire announcements, the IPL 2025 resumed on May 16 with an amended schedule.

The schedule will move forward beginning May 16, 2025 (Friday). In the relevant first weekend (Saturday, May 17, and Sunday, May 18), there will be two matches each day. The cancellation of the PBKS and DC rematch will be scheduled for the Friday of May 16, with the rematch of PBKS and DC postponed for Saturday or Sunday. The remaining fixtures would involve other IPL teams considering the original group structure (Group A - CSK, RCB, RR, PBKS, and KKR—and Group B - MI, GT, DC, SRH, and LSG). Venues would be selected from the three selected cities: Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Chennai.

Below is the revised schedule of the IPL 2025 resumption:
