IPL 2025 Schedule Highlights: Eden Gardens, home of IPL 2024 champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), will host the IPL 2025 opener on March 22 and the final on May 25, along with Qualifier 2 on May 23. This marks Kolkata’s first final in a decade, having last hosted in 2013 and 2015.
Hyderabad, home to 2024 runners-up Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), will stage Qualifier 1 on May 20 and the Eliminator on May 21. The season features 74 matches over 65 days, including 12 double-headers. The opener will see KKR face Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), followed by a double-header on March 23 featuring SRH vs. Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) vs. Mumbai Indians (MI).
Royals, Delhi Capitals, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), and Gujarat Titans (GT) will each play three afternoon matches, while the remaining teams will play two. Afternoon games will start at 3:30 PM IST.
The tournament will be held across 13 venues, including the 10 home bases and secondary venues in Guwahati (RR), Visakhapatnam (Capitals), and Dharamsala (Punjab Kings). Guwahati and Visakhapatnam will host two matches each, while Dharamsala will stage three, with Punjab Kings playing consecutive home matches from May 4-11.
As in previous seasons since the IPL expanded to 10 teams in 2022, the teams are divided into two groups:
- Group A: KKR, RCB, RR, CSK, Punjab Kings
- Group B: SRH, Capitals, GT, MI, LSG
Teams will play intra-group matches and one selected inter-group team twice, while facing the remaining four inter-group teams once.

Four teams—RCB, MI, Punjab, and LSG—will begin their campaigns with away matches before playing their first home games in April.
