IPL 2025 Schedule, season to begin on March 21 in Kolkata

The 18th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) will kick off on March 21 at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens, a week later than originally announced, with the final scheduled for May 25 at the same venue.

This update comes after the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI)



adjusted the schedule from its earlier proposed dates of March 14 to May 25, 2025. 

The BCCI proposed the earlier dates ahead of the IPL auction in Jeddah last year. However, it is now suggested that the dates were a reserved window for the season and not the actual schedule for the 2025 edition.
