IPL 2025 to resume next week across four venues: BCCI official

According to the reports published across various platforms, a BCCI official has stated that the IPL 2025 season will resume next week across four different venues. However, the BCCI and IPL Governing Council have not finalized the specific venues and locations.

Moreover, the venues for the playoffs will not change. Notably, the tournament came to a halt during the game between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals due to the cross-border tensions between India and Pakistan.

"IPL will restart next week, in four venues. The venues will be shortlisted soon, and the venues of the qualifier, eliminator and finals are likely to remain the same. The tournament will resume with the match between RCB and LSG. The final venue could be changed as rain can affect the matches in Kolkata later, so this call will be taken accordingly,” a BCCI official told ANI.

On Friday, May 9, the BCCI officials and IPL GC announced that the remainder of the IPL 2025 season was postponed for a week and the new schedule would be announced in due course. 

“The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has decided to suspend the remainder of the ongoing TATA IPL 2025 with immediate effect for one week. Further updates regarding the new schedule and venues of the tournament will be announced in due course after a comprehensive assessment of the situation in consultation with relevant authorities and stakeholders,” BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia said in the official statement. 

‘At this critical juncture, the BCCI stands firmly with the nation. We express our solidarity with the Government of India, the Armed Forces and the people of our country. The Board salutes the bravery, courage, and selfless service of our armed forces, whose heroic efforts under Operation Sindoor continue to protect and inspire the nation, as they lead a resolute response to the recent terrorist attack and the unwarranted aggression by Pakistan’s armed forces,” the statement added.

Later on May 10, Saturday, both nations agreed to a ceasefire. Though Pakistan violated the ceasefire on Saturday, it was held overnight on Sunday.
