**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.

The move is widely expected to benefit both the league and its stakeholders.
