IPL 2025 Resumes: Full Schedule And Key Dates After Suspension

IPL 2025: The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 will restart on May 17, with Royal Challengers Bengaluru facing Kolkata Knight Riders at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. The tournament was paused on May 9 due to rising tensions between India and Pakistan. The match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals on May 8 was even stopped halfway.

The BCCI had initially suspended the league by a week. “While cricket remains a national passion, there is nothing greater than the Nation and its sovereignty, integrity, and security of our country. The BCCI remains firmly committed to support all efforts that safeguard India and will always align its decisions in the best interest of the nation,” BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia had said in a statement.

The remaining IPL 2025 games will be played in Bengaluru, Lucknow, Jaipur, Delhi, Mumbai, and Ahmedabad. The venues for the playoffs will be announced later.

“A total of 17 matches will be played in six venues starting May 17, 2025, and culminating in the final on June 3, 2025. The revised schedule includes two double-headers, which will be played on two Sundays,” the official statement from the BCCI read.

After both countries agreed to a full and immediate ceasefire, ending three days of conflict, the BCCI quickly moved to resume the IPL.
