'Suspended' IPL 2025's Likely Revised Schedule, Resume Date, Shortlisted Venues, Overseas Players: All We Know so Far

IPL 2025: While the tensions still exist between India-Pakistan, the Board of Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) is looking to still get the suspended IPL 2025 started. It may be strange to even think on those terms now, but the BCCI is more eager to look at the revenue at this point. The 2025 season of the IPL was formally suspended on Friday, May 9, after the Punjab Kings vs. Delhi Capitals match in Dharamsala was abandoned due to blackout.

Multiple reports claim that the BCCI office bearers, officials and IPL governing council discussed the situation on Sunday and a formal announcement is expected on May 12 (Monday). 

IPL 2025 Resume Date, Schedule

While it cannot be confirmed, but reports claim that the resumption would happen on May 16 or 17. And the first game after resumption would be played between Bengaluru and Lucknow. With 17 games still to go and with a fortnight's window available, the BCCI may pack the schedule with more double-headers. The summit clash is likely to be held on May 30 at the Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad. 

“As the IPL was suspended for a week, there is a possibility of the IPL final now being played on May 30 instead of May 25 with limited venues. The schedule will be sent to all IPL teams by tonight,” source in the BCCI informed as mentioned by The Indian Express.

IPL 2025 Shortlisted Venues

The summit clash will not be held at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. The three cities shortlisted to conduct the remainder of the IPL 2025 season are Chennai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad. 

The revised schedule is likely to be out today and Gujarat Titans have already started to practice which makes it even more clear that the BCCI is committed to resume IPL 2025 this week.
