The IPL 2025 start date is March 14. The tournament will run until May 25. As per the media reports, the BCCI has already sent the timelines to all the franchises. To note, this is the first time BCCI has released the dates early, and it indicates that the richest cricketing board in the world wants to give a clear picture to all the countries to put in their calendars accordingly.
IPL 2025 start date
Till now, it was seen that the IPL schedule was released very late, and there was a lot of curiosity about it. There will be 74 matches played in IPL 2025.
There were the same number of matches in the last three seasons. However, when the IPL media rights were sold in 2022, it was told that 84 matches would be played from the 2025 season. But this is not happening. The same number of matches were kept in 2026 as well. Information was given to hold 94 matches in 2027. All boards approved the availability of players
All the big countries have expressed the availability of their players for the upcoming three seasons of IPL. These include England, Australia, and South Africa. Under this, all the boards have told when and how their players will be available in the upcoming season. For example, Australia said that all its players have NOC for the 2025 season.
In 2026, Australia has a three-match ODI series with Pakistan, which will end on March 18. The players involved in this series will join immediately after this. In 2027, Australian players will join after playing a match with England on the 150th anniversary of Test cricket.
