The tournament opener will see the three-time champion Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) lock horns with the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the Eden Gardens.

IPL 2025 Format and Rules
Each team plays twice against teams in their group and one additional team from the other group during the IPL group stage. They also play once against the remaining four teams in the other group. The top four teams make it to the playoffs, where "Qualifier 1" pits the top two teams against each other, and "Eliminator" pits the third and fourth teams against each other. The team that wins Qualifier 1 advances to the final, while the team that loses gets another chance in "Qualifier 2" against the winner of the Eliminator; the team that wins this match advances to the final. There are 74 matches in the tournament, with plans to make 84 in the next two seasons.

|---|---|
| Chennai Super Kings | Mumbai Indians |
| Kolkata Knight Riders | Sunrisers Hyderabad |
| Rajasthan Royals | Gujarat Titans |

New Rules
A rule change means that the league will now adhere to the T20 International Code of Conduct rules established by the International Cricket Council (ICC). In the past, the IPL had its own set of rules for behavior.
IPL 2025 Schedule
The tentative dates for the IPL seasons from 2025 to 2027 were shared with franchises before the 2025 auction, with the 2025 edition initially set for 14 March to 25 May. However, to allow for a gap of two weeks following the ICC Champions Trophy final on March 9, the start date was moved to March 21 in January 2025. This adjustment caused an overlap with the 2025 Pakistan Super League, which was rescheduled to run from 11 April to 25 May.
The BCCI confirmed on 13 February that the season opener would take place on 22 March at Eden Gardens, featuring Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The final will be held in Kolkata, with Hyderabad hosting Qualifier 1 and the Eliminator, while Qualifier 2 and the championship match will take place in Kolkata.
