The fans are excited and waiting for the mega-auction, and the board has finally announced the time at which the auction will be broadcast live on television and digital streaming channels.
IPL 2025 Mega-Auction To Start Late Than Usual
Notably, according to the circular shared by the BCCI, the live-streaming will begin at 3:00 PM IST and 12:30 PM local time in Jeddah on Sunday, November 24. It is worth noting that the auction will start later than usual because of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
The mega-auction will overlap with the Border-Gavaskar Trophy that starts on November 22 in Perth. Thus, to avoid broadcasting issues, the auction will start at 3:00 PM IST after stumps on day 3 of the first Test between India and Australia.

The Auction will include 318 Indian uncapped players and 12 uncapped overseas players. 204 players will be bought by teams and the minimum base price has been set at 30 lakhs, while the highest base price has been 2 crores.
It is worth noting that out of the 574 players, 13-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi is the youngest player to go under the hammer in IPL 2025 auction, while, 42-year-old James Anderson is the oldest player. The auction is spread across two days and the time for the 2nd day of auction is yet to be known.
