IPL 2025 complete schedule: Defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders will host the season opener against Royal Challengers Benglauru at the iconic Eden Gardens on March 22. Five-time champions Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians will be in action on March 23.
The 18th edition of Indian Premier League (IPL) will kick-start on March 22 with defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) taking on Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the season opener at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
Kolkata will also host the final on May 25 while Hyderabad has been allotted with the Qualifier 1 and the Eliminator games. Notably, the first-ever game in IPL was also held between KKR and RCB in 2008, with the former emerging winners, thanks to Brendon McCullum's 158 not out off just 73 balls.
Five-time champions each, Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings will open their campaigns against each other on March 23 in Chepauk. Meanwhile, Rishabh Pant's Lucknow Super Giants will play Delhi Capitals in their opening game.
The schedule features 12 double-headers. The games will be held over 65 days across 13 venues, with Dharamsala, Guwahati, and Visakhapatnam being additional venues apart from the franchise cities.
As has been the norm, Dharamsala will serve as Punjab Kings' second home venue alongside Mullanpur (New Chandigarh), while Rajasthan Royals will make Guwahati their base in addition to Jaipur.
Delhi Capitals will have Visakhapatnam as their second home venue and will start their league campaign there on March 24 against Lucknow Super Giants. Guwahati and Visakhapatnam will host two matches each, while Dharamsala will stage three matches.
Notably, Delhi Capitals and KKR are yet to annouce their captains for IPL 2025. While Delhi have certainly KL Rahul to lead in the ranks, KKR would be choosing either Ajinkya Rahane or Venkatesh Iyer.
