Let us tell you that the wait for the official schedule of IPL 2025 continues. The BCCI has not released the schedule yet. The board has shared the dates of important matches with the franchises. Sources indicated that the final match will be played in the city of the defending champion as per IPL tradition. That is, the final will be played on May 25 at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
It is already decided that the first qualifier and eliminator match will be played in Hyderabad while the second qualifier and final match will be played in Kolkata.

However, the BCCI has changed these dates. According to the Cricbuzz report, the broadcasters requested to start on Saturday, which was accepted by the board. The full schedule of IPL 2025 will be released soon.
The 10 major venues of IPL 2025 are Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru, Lucknow, Mullanpur, Delhi, Jaipur, Kolkata and Hyderabad. Guwahati and Dharamsala have also been added this season.

Like last year, Dharamsala will host the matches of Punjab Kings. There are reports that three matches can be played in Dharamsala.
