IPL 2021 Schedule: IPL 14 to start on April 9, FINAL on May 30: List of venues, TV Timings, Format, Other Info

New Delhi, March 7: The schedule for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 has been announced by the IPL Governing Council on Sunday (March 7) and the domestic T20 league will be held in India across six cities i.e. Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata. There will be no home and away venues this time, unlike previous editions.

After nearly two years, the IPL will return home as the COVID-19 pandemic forced IPL 2020 to be shifted to the UAE. The fixtures of the tournament have been mapped in a way that every team will travel only three times during the league stage. It will therefore reduce commute and minimising the risk of infection. The tournament will be played behind closed doors, to begin with, and a call on allowing spectators will be taken at a later stage.
