The 18th Indian Premier League (IPL) is scheduled to start on March 22 and run until May 25. The defending champions, Kolkata Knight Riders, will square off Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the venerable Eden Gardens in Kolkata in the inaugural game. Ten teams will be playing 74 matches spread across 13 locations throughout the country, with Eden Gardens hosting the championship final this season.
The teams are divided into two groups:
Group 1
- Kolkata Knight Riders
- Royal Challengers Bengaluru
- Rajasthan Royals
- Chennai Super Kings
- Punjab Kings
Group 2
- Sunrisers Hyderabad
- Delhi Capitals

Every team will play 14 group-stage games against opponents in their group twice and teams from the other group once, plus one extra game against a specified team from the other group. Maintaining the current Qualifier and Eliminator system, the top four clubs will progress to the playoffs.
The tournament will feature 13 double-header days, with afternoon matches starting at 3:30 PM IST and evening matches at 7:30 PM IST. Some teams will play home games at multiple venues: Delhi Capitals in Visakhapatnam, Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati, and Punjab Kings in Dharamsala.
