IPL 2025 Start Date Announced: Exciting updates for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 have emerged, as Arun Dhumal, Vice President of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), confirmed the tentative start date. While earlier reports suggested a March 14 kickoff, Dhumal revealed during an event at Sansad Khel Mahakumbh in Bilaspur that IPL 2025 will begin on March 21.
Dhumal also reassured fans that the competitive nature of the league will remain intact, with no significant changes to the existing rules, including the controversial impact player rule.
“The IPL season will start in March, and the date is set for March 21. The schedule will be released soon,” Dhumal told IANS.
He added, “There are no major changes in the rules. IPL is the world’s most important cricket league, where top players come to play. It is organized with a competitive spirit, and this time it will be even better.”
Dharamshala Set to Host More Matches in IPL 2025
Dhumal shared his optimism about Dharamshala hosting more games during the 2025 Indian Premier League season.
“Last time, Dharamshala hosted two IPL matches. This time, we’re hopeful for three, along with other domestic tournaments like the Ranji Trophy and Vijay Hazare Trophy being offered to venues such as Bilaspur and Dharamshala,” he said.
IPL 2025 Opening Match Prediction
The IPL typically kicks off with a clash between the previous season’s finalists. After Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) to win the IPL 2024 title, fans can likely expect these two teams to face off in the IPL 2025 opener.
Recent reports suggest an increase in the number of matches in future IPL seasons due to media rights agreements. While IPL 2025 will feature 74 matches, the number is expected to rise to 84 matches in 2026 and 94 matches in 2027.
