The BCCI on Monday announced the venues for the IPL 2025 playoffs and final with the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad set to host the summit clash as well as Qualifier 2 while the New PCA Stadium in New Chandigarh, also known as the Mullanpur stadium, will host the Qualifier 1 and Eliminator. Ahmedabad had earlier hosted the IPL final in 2022 and 2023.
“The spotlight will shift to the New PCA Stadium in New Chandigarh as it gears up to host the much-awaited Qualifier 1 – featuring the top-two ranked sides on Thursday, May 29 followed by an engrossing Eliminator clash on Friday, 30 May,” The IPL said in a statement.
“The excitement will elevate further as Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium, the world’s largest cricket stadium in the world will host an electrifying Qualifier 2 and the grand Final. The Qualifier 2, to be played between the loser of Qualifier 1 and the winner of the Eliminator, will take place on Sunday, June 1. The highly-anticipated summit clash, which will crown the winner of the 18th Season of TATA IPL, is set to be played on Tuesday, June 3,” it added.
Hyderabad and Kolkata were supposed to host the play-offs as per the original dates but the IPL schedule had to be revised in the wake of the India-Pakistan military conflict that halted the event for a week.
“The new venues for the Playoffs were decided by the IPL Governing Council keeping in mind the weather conditions and other parameters,” the IPL release stated.
