IPL Dates

After the mega auction that took place on February 12 and 13, BCCI management is expected to provide an update soon, regarding the schedule of matches in the upcoming 15th season of the IPL. As of today, preliminary dates are already known, but the BCCI is still working out some details regarding the upcoming season.

According to preliminary reports, the Indian Premier League is scheduled to run from April 2, 2022 to June 3, 2022. The IPL 2022 start date is likely to take place on April 2, 2022 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, with the final match of the tournament likely to take place on June 3, 2022. A large number of matches are expected to be played, namely 74, with the strongest cricket teams vying for the championship. 

IPL Venue

Unfortunately, due to the difficult epidemiological situation in the world, in the last two years, IPL matches have been played in the United Arab Emirates rather than on home soil. However, for this year’s IPL, cricket fans and the teams themselves expect to play in India.

With that in mind, the BCCI management has confirmed the fact that IPL season 15 will be held on Indian soil, but it all depends on the situation related to Covid-19. In any case, the UAE is always an alternative venue for the BCCI to host the IPL and other major tournaments in case of another COVID outbreak. Still, matches are expected to take place in prominent stadiums in India in cities such as:

• Chennai;
• Hyderabad;
• Ahmedabad;
• Delhi;
• Mumbai;
• Kolkata;
• Jaipur;
• Bangalore;
• Mohali.

In addition, the good news for Indian cricket fans is that after the last auction, the BCCI has added 2 new teams ahead of IPL 2022. 

IPL 2022 Teams List

Which two new teams in IPL 2022 the BCCI added? As mentioned earlier, during the last auction, two more teams were added to the 8 major teams. These are Ahmedabad and Lucknow. As a result, 10 teams will participate in the 2022 IPL:
