IPL 2025 is yet to start, but discussions have already begun, and why not? Recently, the BCCI announced the cash-rich league’s upcoming edition schedule, and we are set to see 74 blockbuster matches in total, including group stages and playoffs. Starting from March 22, the IPL will run for a long two months. On one hand, teams will play 7 home games, and on the other, 7 at the opposition’s venue, which means a total of 14 games per team. Once again, just like in previous years, it is expected to be big. But the question is, we all know the IPL is starting on March 22, but what about the final date? When is the IPL 2025 final, and which stadium will host the final?
Which stadium will host the IPL 2025 final?
The IPL 2025 final will take place on May 25, and the playoffs are all set to start from May 20. Once again, just like in 2013 and 2015, Kolkata’s Eden Gardens will host the final. One of the iconic grounds in India, with a capacity of 68,000, we can expect that whichever teams reach the final will provide a blockbuster match.
