Indian Premier League (IPL)
The most awaited event of cricket, the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 fixtures are set to be released on 22nd February, Thursday, as per reports. The Indian Cricket Board is likely to announce the fixture for the first 15 days only of the IPL 2024. The latter half of the tournament will be finalized by the Indian Cricket Board and Election Commission due to the Lok Sabha elections in 2024 taking place in India.
The fixtures of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 will be announced during the live show on Star Sports and Jio Cinema at 5 PM. A post on Star Sports’ X handle confirmed that the IPL 2024 schedule will be released at 5:00 PM on Thursday on Star Sports.
Meanwhile, Arun Dhumal, Chairman of the IPL confirmed that the mega-event will start from 22nd March. He also added that the entire IPL 2024 will take place in India even though there are elections taking place.

“We are looking at a March 22 start for the tournament. We are working closely with the government agencies and we will first release the initial schedule,” Arun Dhumal told PTI.
As per various reports, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will play the opening game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at its home stadium, M. A. Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk. Last year's IPL final was an epic clash as MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings (CSK) lifted their 5th trophy of IPL by defeating Gujarat Titans in Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad.
In IPL 2024, a total of 74 matches will be played between the 10 teams in the home and away format. There will be an opening ceremony taking place before the opening games. Due to the election this year, IPL will be played for 67 days instead of 60 days. The final will take place on 26th May, just 5 days before the 2024 T20 World Cup, which is taking place in the West Indies and the USA from 1st June.
