Defending champions Gujarat Titans will take on Chennai Super Kings in Ahmedabad on March 31 in the opening match of IPL 2023. The 16th edition of the tournament will begin five days after the completion of the inaugural WPL.
On April 1, Punjab Kings will play Kolkata Knight Riders in the opening match of the day, and Lucknow Super Giants and Delhi Capitals will play each other in the second game of the day. On April 2, Sunrisers Hyderabad will play their first game of the season against Rajasthan Royals, and Royal Challengers Bangalore will play their first game of the season against Mumbai Indians on the same day.
There will be 70 games played during the league stage, which ends on May 21 and includes 18 doubleheaders. All ten teams are scheduled to play seven games at their home venue and seven games away in the tournament's familiar home and away format. The league stage will take place at 12 locations, with the Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals playing two home games each in Dharamshala and Guwahati, respectively.
In 2019, the entire tournament's traditional home and away format was last used. The entire event in 2020 was held in the UAE, and the event in 2021, which was scheduled to take place in India but was forced to be postponed due to Covid-19, was again held in the UAE for the second half of the season. The Indian Premier League (IPL) was held in India last year, but only a select few venues were used, with Mumbai and Pune hosting the entire league stage.
The venues and schedule for the playoffs will be announced later, despite the fact that the final will be played on May 28.
