Why Was IPL 2025 Suspended?
The IPL 2025 was temporarily suspended on May 8 due to a security alert triggered by an airspace breach incident over northern India. A match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals in Dharamsala was abandoned, which prompted the BCCI to reassess the security arrangements for the tournament. This disruption, though short-lived, had a significant impact on team logistics and venue planning.
New IPL 2025 Schedule & Resumption Date
The BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) confirmed that IPL 2025 would resume on May 17, 2025, with matches now scheduled to be held across six key cities:
- Ahmedabad
- Mumbai
- Delhi
- Lucknow
- Jaipur
- Bengaluru
The revised schedule ensures that the remaining league and playoff matches are completed by June 3, 2025, culminating in the grand IPL final.
