The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 is set to begin in March, though the official schedule is yet to be announced. However, it has been confirmed that Visakhapatnam will host two matches this season, just like last year. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has once again chosen the Andhra Pradesh city as one of the venues for the tournament.

Visakhapatnam will continue to be the second home ground for the Delhi Capitals. While the exact match dates and opponents are still unknown, Delhi Capitals, owned by the GMR Group, will start their campaign at the VDCA Stadium in this coastal city. It has been understood that the complete IPL schedule is expected to be released by BCCI on February 17, Monday.
