**Mumbai, India** – In a significant departure from previous practice, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced the dates for the Indian Premier League (IPL) for the next three seasons. This unprecedented move provides much-needed clarity and certainty for franchises and fans alike.
The 2025 IPL season will run from March 14th to May 25th, followed by identical scheduling for the 2026 season. The 2027 season will extend slightly, concluding on May 30th. All three seasons will commence on March 14th. The BCCI officially communicated these dates to franchises on Friday morning.
This early release marks a sharp contrast to previous years, where the schedule was often announced at the eleventh hour. The BCCI’s decision is attributed to the IPL now benefiting from a clearly defined international cricket calendar, eliminating scheduling conflicts and allowing for proactive planning. The move is widely expected to benefit both the league and its stakeholders.
