Indian Premier League (IPL) has released the schedule for first two weeks of IPL 2019 edition.
IPL 2019 Schedule: The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019 has released the schedule of first 17 matches to be held between March 23 and April 5.
BCCI has got clearance to host IPL 2019 games between March 23 and April 5 from the election commission so far. After the clearance, IPL released the schedule for the first two weeks of the 12th edition of Indian Premier League. The schedule for remaining matches is expected to be announced after EC finalises the dates for Lok Sabha polls.
Defending champions Chennai Super Kings will host Virat Kohli’s Royal Challengers Bangalore in the opening match of IPL-12 in Chennai on March 23. All the franchises will host at least one home match in this two-week period according to the schedule announced on Tuesday.
The CoA had taken the decision to organize the entire tournament in India in spite of the clash of date with the General Elections.
“IPL released the schedule of the first two weeks (17 matches) of the 2019 Season. These are still subject to the announcement of the Lok Sabha 2019 election dates. Once these have been released BCCI will address any issues with the first two weeks and will also prepare a schedule for the remainder of the season working with the local authorities around the polling dates,” an IPL media release read on Tuesday.
In the two-week schedule, March 24th and 31st will be the only days featuring double-headers.
“A total of 17 matches will be played during this two-week period across the eight home venues of the respective franchises. All teams will play minimum of four matches with Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore playing five matches. Every team will play minimum of two home and two away matches with the Capitals playing three home matches, while RCB will play three away matches,” the release added.
With the whole tournament set to be played in India, it is important the matches are scheduled in accordance with the election dates.

The IPL is set to get underway on March 23 and the final will be played in Chennai. This will also be the first time that the league will be played without a chairman. The Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA) had disbanded all committees and sub-committees after the registration of the new constitution.
