IPL 2021 Schedule: Full fixtures, match timings, venues, teams

The BCCI announced IPL 2021 Schedule on Sunday as defending champions Mumbai Indians will face Royal Challengers Bangalore in the season opener on 9th April, 2021. After a gap of two years, IPL will return home with Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Mumbai & Kolkata hosting the marquee event.

The World’s Largest Cricket Stadium – Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad will host the Playoffs as well as the final on 30th May, 2021. The stadium recently hosted India’s second ever day-night test against England at home after Eden Gardens of Kolkata.

Each team will play at four venues in a total of 56 league matches where Chennai, Mumbai, Kolkata & Bengaluru will host 10 matches each while Ahmedabad and Delhi will host 8 matches each. This time, no team will play at their home ground as it will be neutral venue for every team.

A total of 11 double headers are scheduled for the tournament where noon matches have a start time of 3:30 PM IST while the evening games will have a 7:30 PM IST start.

The fixtures of the tournament have been planned in such a way that every team will travel only three times during the league stage, thus reducing finances and minimizing risk of Covid-19. The tournament will also be played behind closed doors and a call on allowing spectators will be taken at a later stage of the tournament.
