According to multiple reports, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is expected to host the IPL 2025 final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on June 3. While there has been no official confirmation yet, sources suggest the decision was made during recent internal BCCI meetings, with weather conditions playing a key role in the proposed venue selection for the playoff matches. If confirmed, the Narendra Modi Stadium would also host Qualifier 2 on June 1, setting the stage for two of the most crucial fixtures of the tournament in Ahmedabad. Reports further indicate that the initial playoff matches Qualifier 1 and the Eliminator are likely to be played at the new stadium in Mullanpur, New Chandigarh, on May 29 and May 30 respectively. The BCCI is believed to have taken the approaching monsoon season into account while considering these venue shifts, with the aim of ensuring minimal weather related disruption during the decisive stages of the tournament.Quiz: Who’s that IPL player? Originally, Kolkata was slated to host the IPL final. However, with increasing concerns over rain and scheduling complications, it is understood that Ahmedabad is being considered as a more weather-resilient alternative. The Narendra Modi Stadium, already established as one of India’s leading cricket venues, would offer a fitting backdrop for the tournament’s finale. Its selection for multiple high-stakes playoff matches further highlights its growing prominence in Indian cricket.
If reports hold true, the IPL 2025 playoff schedule will span across two major cities, Mullanpur for the initial knockout clashes, and Ahmedabad for the final leg of the tournament.
