**IPL 2025 Playoffs Schedule Revealed: Chandigarh and Ahmedabad to Host Key Matches**

**MUMBAI, INDIA –** The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced the schedule and venues for the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 Playoffs. After the conclusion of the 70-match league stage, the playoff action will begin at the New PCA Stadium in New Chandigarh, hosting Qualifier 1 on May 29th, featuring the top two teams from the league standings. The Eliminator will follow on May 30th at the same venue.

The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, the world’s largest cricket stadium, will host Qualifier 2 on June 1st and the highly anticipated IPL 2025 Final on June 3rd, where the champion of the 18th season will be crowned.

“The decision to shift the playoff venues was made by the IPL Governing Council considering weather conditions and other logistical parameters,” the BCCI said in a statement. Hyderabad and Kolkata were originally scheduled to host the last four games before the one week suspension of the tournament.

In related news, TATA IPL Match No. 65 between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) has been moved from Bengaluru to the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow due to anticipated unfavorable weather in Bengaluru.

Additionally, an extra hour has been added to the playing conditions for all remaining league stage matches, effective from Tuesday, May 20th. This adjustment aims to mitigate potential delays caused by weather or other unforeseen circumstances.
