This information was published on Thursday. The reigning champion Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will square off in the opening IPL 2025 encounter at Eden Gardens.

According to reports, the defending champions KKR’s home field, Eden Gardens, will host the IPL 2025 final on May 25. According to the source, BCCI has already informed franchisees of the important dates, but they have not yet made the formal announcement.
Additionally, the broadcasters requested a Saturday start for the event, so the organizers rescheduled the IPL 2025 start date from March 23 to March 22. The Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Uppal will host Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals (RR) on March 23.
There will be twelve locations for the 2025 IPL matches. Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru, Lucknow, Mullanpur, Delhi, Jaipur, Kolkata, and Hyderabad are the ten frequent locations. Guwahati and Dharamsala will also host the matches.
On March 26 and 30, the Rajasthan Royals will face the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and KKR in Guwahati. In Dharamsala, observers anticipate that Punjab Kings (PBKS) will play a minimum of two games and a maximum of three.
According to reports, Hyderabad will host the first qualifier and eliminator, while Kolkata will host the second qualifier and final.
