About the IPL schedule
The Indian Premier League runs for roughly two months from late March to the end of May. The league stage has 70 matches followed by four playoff games — Qualifier 1, the Eliminator, Qualifier 2 and the Final. Most matches start at 7:30 PM IST, with 3:30 PM IST starts on double-header days, usually weekends. On this page every start time is shown in your own time zone, so a 7:30 PM IST game reads as 7:00 PM in Pakistan and 2:00 PM in the UK.
Venues
Each franchise plays seven home games at its base — Wankhede (Mumbai), Chinnaswamy (Bengaluru), Eden Gardens (Kolkata), Chepauk (Chennai), Arun Jaitley Stadium (Delhi), Mullanpur (Punjab), Sawai Mansingh (Jaipur), Rajiv Gandhi (Hyderabad), Narendra Modi Stadium (Ahmedabad) and Ekana (Lucknow). Playoff venues are announced by the BCCI each season.
