Ahmedabad to Host IPL 2025 Final at Narendra Modi Stadium on June 3
IPL 2025 Playoffs Schedule Finalized by BCCI
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has officially confirmed that the IPL 2025 final will be hosted at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on June 3, 2025. The announcement was made following a series of strategic meetings conducted by the board on Tuesday, aimed at finalizing venues and schedules for the highly anticipated playoff stage of the tournament.
The Narendra Modi Stadium, known as the world’s largest cricket stadium, has once again been chosen to host a marquee IPL event, reaffirming its status as a premier cricketing venue. Along with the final, the city of Ahmedabad will also host Qualifier 2 on June 1, setting the stage for back-to-back high-stakes encounters.
Mullanpur Likely to Host Qualifier 1 and Eliminator
While Ahmedabad secures the grand finale, the first two playoff matches—Qualifier 1 and the Eliminator—are expected to be played in Mullanpur, New Chandigarh, on May 29 and May 30 respectively. Though official confirmation is awaited, reliable BCCI sources indicate that Mullanpur is the frontrunner due to favorable weather forecasts.
Weather Conditions Influencing Venue Selection
The BCCI has taken a cautious approach with its playoff planning this season, especially given the approaching monsoon season in several parts of the country. Organizers prioritized locations less likely to be affected by rain during the critical knockout phase of the tournament. According to IMD forecasts, several Indian cities are beginning to experience pre-monsoon showers, prompting the board to opt for weather-resilient venues.
