The Indian Premier League (IPL) will begin its 15th season on March 26. Over the course of two months, up to ten teams will compete for the ultimate prize, with the final set scheduled for May 29. The BCCI released the schedule for the much-anticipated event with barely three weeks to go, and the defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will face the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the opening match.
This year’s matches will be played in a new format, with the BCCI abandoning the former structure of each team facing each other twice in the league round. Based on the number of titles won and finals contested, ten teams are separated into two groups, A and B.
Mumbai Indians, Kolkata Knight Riders, Rajasthan Royals, Delhi Capitals, and newcomer Lucknow Super Giants make up Group A. Chennai Super Kings, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Punjab Kings, and newcomer Gujarat Titans are the other five teams in Group B.
All league games will be held in Maharashtra.
All IPL 2022 league matches will be held at four sites, three in Mumbai and one in Pune, as previously announced. Wankhede and DY Patil Stadiums will each hold 20 games, while Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai and MCA Stadium in Pune will each host 15 matches.
According to the schedule, the season’s opening doubleheader will take place on March 27. There will be a lot of double-header days this season, thanks to the arrival of two additional teams, which will increase the amount of games.
