Revised IPL 2025 Schedule: What Are The Changes In The New Fixture List Vs Old Fixtures?

The wait is finally over as the IPL 2025 is all set to resume! After an unexpected and tense pause due to security concerns earlier in May, the BCCI has officially confirmed that the league will return to our screens from May 17, with the grand finale scheduled for June 3. At Vi, we know how important IPL is to every cricket lover in India, and we’re here to ensure you don’t miss a single moment of the action, whether you’re cheering from home, at work, or on the go. Let’s walk you through the differences between the old and the new IPL 2025 schedule and how you can catch all the matches live with Vi.

The Revised IPL 2025 Schedule: What’s New?

The IPL 2025 season was abruptly halted on May 8, after the Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals match in Dharamsala was cancelled due to an attempt by Pakistan to breach Indian airspace. This incident triggered a blackout and a temporary suspension of the league, causing understandable concern among players and fans alike.

Fortunately, following a ceasefire agreement and consultations with national security agencies, the BCCI announced on May 12 that the league will resume with a revised schedule starting Saturday, May 17.

Here’s what’s new:

Total Matches: 17 games will be played between May 17 and June 3.
Venues: The league matches will now take place across six cities: Bengaluru, Jaipur, Delhi, Lucknow, Ahmedabad, and Mumbai.
Double Headers: Two double-header Sundays: one on May 18 and another on May 25.

Here’s the updated schedule for the upcoming IPL 2025 matches:

International Player Availability: Who’s In and Who’s Not?

With the resumption of IPL, franchises are now in a race to reassemble their squads, especially the foreign players. Some, like Josh Hazlewood (RCB), may face delays due to injuries. Others, such as Pat Cummins (SRH) and Kagiso Rabada (GT), could be unavailable as they prepare for the World Test Championship Final at Lord’s starting June 11. Still, most teams are expected to place their best foot forward as the tournament resumes on May 17, and we’re expecting full-strength showdowns in many matches.
