Will PSL 2025 Clash With IPL 2025?
Yes, for the first time in PSL history, the tournament will run parallel to the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. Traditionally, the PSL has been scheduled earlier in the year to avoid a clash with the IPL. However, this year, both leagues will be held simultaneously, leading to an overlap.
- IPL 2025 is set to begin on March 22 and conclude on May 25.
- PSL 2025 will run from April 11 to May 18, with its final scheduled one week before the IPL final.
This simultaneous scheduling could impact player availability, sponsorships, and viewership numbers, but it will also add an extra layer of excitement for cricket fans worldwide.
