The 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) is officially set to resume on May 17, following a week-long suspension caused by hostilities between India and Pakistan. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced that the tournament will restart with the match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
A total of 17 matches will be played across six venues, culminating in the final on June 3, 2025. The revised schedule includes:
- Resumption Date: May 17, 2025 (RCB vs KKR in Bengaluru)
- Total Matches Remaining: 17
- Venues: Six different stadiums across India
Playoffs:

- Qualifier 2: June 1
- Final – June 3

The resumption follows a ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan, which allowed the BCCI, after discussions with government and security agencies, to continue the tournament safely.
In summary, IPL 2025 will restart from May 17, with the league and playoff matches running through to the final on June 3.
