How to watch IPL 2025: live stream Indian Premier League cricket online, fixtures

The 18th edition of the Indian Premier League runs from March 22 until May 25, 2025. In all 74 matches will be played, 70 of them in the group stages. Follow our guide below for where to watch IPL live streams 2025 from anywhere with a VPN.

The Indian Premier League has been as explosive as ever in 2025. Despite proceedings being suspended due to security concerns, fixtures began once again on Saturday, May 17. The final has been moved back to Tuesday, June 3.

We have seen everything from 14-year-old's hitting 35-ball centuries to Jos Buttler and Virat Kohli continuing their usual T20 form. The rescheduling has meant that some players have to decipher whether they want to continue post the original conclusion date of the 25th May. Some have decided to return home for international duties while many others will continue playing in the 18th edition of the IPL.

That has left Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru in a battle for the first spot in the final as they face off today (29 May). Meanwhile, the Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians take on each other in the eliminator, knowing that a win will have them one step closer to Ahmedabad.

Here's a guide to how to watch IPL 2025 live streams from anywhere.
