IPL 2025: Action to resume on May 17 with RCB v KKR in Bengaluru, matches at six venues
Updated: May 13th, 2025
After consultation with the government, security agencies, and all other stakeholders, the Board of Control for Cricket in India has decided to restart the remainder of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 from May 17 and conduct all the matches in six venues.
The IPL 2025 will resume at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on May 17, with Royal Challengers Bengaluru taking on Kolkata Knight Riders. The IPL was suspended for a week because of the intense exchange of fire across the border between India and Pakistan, with the latter launching missiles and drone attacks, which were thwarted by the Indian forces.
No matches will be played in Mohali or Dharamsala. Punjab Kings’ match against Mumbai Indians, which was earlier moved to Ahmedabad, will now be played at the SMS Stadium in Jaipur on May 26.
The final of the IPL will now be played on June 3, with the playoffs to be played from May 29 onwards. The venues for the playoff matches will be announced later.
