IPL 2025 Playoffs Scheduled Across Mullanpur, Ahmedabad, Lucknow

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced updated venues and schedule for the IPL 2025 playoffs, shifting the games from the originally planned cities of Hyderabad and Kolkata to Mullanpur and Ahmedabad due to adverse weather conditions and logistical concerns. The playoffs will begin with Qualifier 1 and the Eliminator at the PCA Stadium in Mullanpur on May 29 and 30, followed by Qualifier 2 and the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on June 1 and June 3, respectively. Additionally, a league stage match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Sunrisers Hyderabad has been moved from Bengaluru to Lucknow because of persistent rain. The tournament’s final was postponed from May 25 to June 3 after a temporary suspension caused by cross-border tensions. These changes reflect the IPL Governing Council's efforts to ensure smooth conduct despite interruptions and challenging weather forecasts. The playoffs schedule and venues were officially released by BCCI officials, highlighting the world's largest cricket stadium hosting the climax of the season.
