IPL 2024 Schedule
The schedule for the 17th edition of the IPL is yet to be announced by the BCCI. Notably, due to Lok Sabha elections in India in 2024, the dates for the cash-rich league will be out after the Election Commission of India announces the Election dates.
However, the BCCI has informed the franchises to anticipate that the tournament can kickstart in the third week of March in 2024. It is also anticipated that a portion of the tournament may take place outside India due to election. However, it is also worth noting that despite the General Elections in India in 2019, the BCCI conducted the whole tournament in India.
