74 matches will be played in the 18th season of IPL.
BCCI is considering increasing the number of matches from 74 to 94 from IPL-2028. However, there is no plan to bring a new franchise in the league.
Earlier, 84 matches were being planned in 2025, but the tournament had to be limited on 74 matches in view of the lack of scheduling around the tournament’s window and the international calendar.
IPL chairman Arun Dhumal told ESPN that BCCI is planning to hold a tournament of the next media-lights cycle from 2028 to 94 match format. He further said, we are discussing this with ICC. We have also talked to BCCI about this.
Large window needs for IPL: Dhumal
The BCCI chairman said, “Ideally we want a big window, so that every team gets a chance to play against the opposition team on the domestic and outer ground.” For this you will need at least 94 matches. At the same time, when the number of teams was increased, Dhumal said, at present, the number of 10 teams is good. It is the most important thing to have a great game in the tournament and the interest of the people.
Arun Dhumal is the chairman of the IPL.
74 matches format from 2022
Since 2022, the format of 74 matches has been running in the IPL, in which teams get to play 7 matches at home and 7 matches at home of other teams, but 2028 to 9-9 matches can be brought home and out. From 2022, 2 new teams started playing in IPL by Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants. In 2008, the first 2 seasons of the tournament were played for 59 matches.
The Gujarat Titans became a winner in its first season.
