IPL 2025 to Kick Off on March 21 at Eden Gardens

The IPL 2025 season will begin on March 21, with the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata set to host both the opening match and the final on May 25. As the home ground of defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders, Eden Gardens will also host Qualifier 2, while Hyderabad has been chosen to stage Qualifier 1 and the Eliminator.

Originally scheduled for a March 15 start, the tournament window was shifted to provide a two-week gap following the Champions Trophy final on March 9. This year’s IPL will maintain the format of 74 matches, consistent with the previous three seasons, even though initial plans for 2025 included expanding to 84 games.

The complete IPL schedule is expected to be announced later this month, promising another thrilling season of cricket.
