The TATA IPL 2025 is back in action! After an indefinite suspension due to rising cross-border tensions between India and Pakistan, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has officially announced the resumption of the tournament from May 17, 2025.
The remaining 12 league-stage matches and 4 playoff fixtures will be played across six major Indian venues—ensuring the safety of players and fans. The highly anticipated IPL 2025 Final will be held on June 3.
Why Was IPL 2025 Suspended?
The BCCI suspended the tournament on May 9, 2025, after a drone attack during the PBKS vs DC match in Dharamsala caused widespread panic. With growing military tensions at the India-Pakistan border, officials paused the tournament mid-season.
After multiple high-level meetings and coordination with central and state authorities, the BCCI confirmed the revised schedule on May 12, 2025, asking franchises to report by May 13.
