The much-awaited schedule for IPL 2025 is likely to be announced next week, with reports suggesting that the final match will be held at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens. As per sources, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is in the final stages of planning and is expected to unveil the tournament schedule soon.
The Indian Premier League, one of the most popular and competitive T20 leagues in the world, is set to return for its 18th edition in 2025. Cricket fans are eagerly waiting for the official fixtures, which will determine the matchups, venues, and dates for the highly anticipated tournament. Reports indicate that Eden Gardens, one of the most historic cricket stadiums in India, has been chosen to host the final. If confirmed, this would mark a major moment for Kolkata, as the stadium last hosted an IPL final in 2018.
BCCI officials have reportedly discussed various factors, including logistical arrangements, weather conditions, and crowd capacity, before finalizing the schedule. While the official start date is yet to be revealed, sources suggest that the tournament will likely begin in late March or early April, running for approximately two months. As usual, teams will play in a home-and-away format, ensuring matches across multiple iconic venues in India.
Franchises are also eagerly awaiting the schedule as it will help them strategize for the season, particularly in terms of travel and squad management. With the player auction already concluded and teams finalizing their preparations, the upcoming season promises to be another thrilling cricketing spectacle.
Apart from the venue for the final, discussions are also ongoing regarding the opening match of IPL 2025, which is expected to be held at the home ground of the defending champions. Speculations are high that the first match could feature a high-voltage clash between the two most successful IPL franchises, Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians.
As cricket fans gear up for another exciting season, the confirmation of Eden Gardens as the final venue will add to the excitement. With just a few days left for the official announcement, all eyes are now on BCCI to reveal the complete schedule and set the stage for IPL 2025.
