In the latest development, the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 finale will take place at the Narendra Modi Stadium, instead of Eden Gardens, Kolkata.

Also, there has been a change in the playoff venues. Qualifier 1 and the Eliminator will now be hosted by the Mullanpur Stadium, in New Chandigarh and the Qualifier 2 will also be hosted in Ahmedabad as the fans gear up for the business end of the IPL.
