The other venues are Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi and Kolkata. The Narendra  Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad will host the final on 30 May as well as the playoffs.

Screenshot: IPL media[/caption]   Each team is set to play at four venues during the league stage. Out of the 56 league matches, Chennai, Mumbai, Kolkata and Bengaluru will host 10 matches each while Ahmedabad and Delhi will host eight matches each. “One of the highlights of this edition of the VIVO IPL will be the fact that all matches will be played at neutral venues, no team will play at their home venue. All teams will play at 4 out of 6 venues during the league stage,” read an IPL statement. There will be a total of 11 double headers where six teams will play three afternoon matches and two teams will play two afternoon matches. The afternoon games are slated for a 3.30 pm start while the evening games will have a 7.30 pm start. “The fixtures of the tournament have been mapped in a way that every team will travel only three times during the league stage, thus reducing commute and minimising risk. “The VIVO IPL this year at home will be played behind closed doors to begin with and a call on allowing spectators will be taken at a later stage of the tournament,” the statement read further. The previous edition was played in the UAE amid the pandemic but since then the COVID-19 situation has improved drastically in India. Click here to check the entire schedule. With inputs from PTI
