The Qualifier 2 and Final will take place at the Chepauk in Chennai on May 24 and 26, while the Qualifier 1 and Eliminator will take place at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Motera on May 21 and 22. The IPL 2024 title match, which is scheduled for May 26, will take place at Chepauk, making Chennai the host city for the first IPL final in 12 years. The defending IPL champion Chennai Super Kings call the MA Chidambaram Stadium, often known as the Chepauk, home. The IPL finals were held there in 2011 and 2012.
The dates of the first 21 games in the first batch have been made public by the BCCI, and they have planned a schedule in which the 22nd game will begin on Monday, April 8, immediately. The Chennai Super Kings game opens the second leg, just like it did the first in IPL 2024. On April 8, the defending champions and Kolkata Knight Riders will face off at the Chepauk. It is going to be a night game.
The 10 teams are split into two groups of five, just like in 2023. Every team plays the remaining team from the other group, chosen by a draw, twice in addition to playing the other four teams in their group twice and the other four teams in the other group once.
CSK is in the same group as the Gujarat Titans, Punjab Kings, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, and 2022 IPL champions. The second group includes the Delhi Capitals, KKR, Lucknow Super Giants, Royals, and Mumbai Indians, five-time IPL champions.
A few games are scheduled to take place in Dharamsala, Punjab Kings’ traditional second center, according to the schedule. The Punjab team’s home games are scheduled for May 5 (a day game against Chennai Super Kings) and May 9 (a night game against Royal Challengers Bengaluru) in the hill town. The favored second base of the Rajasthan Royals, Guwahati, is host to two games as well. They take on Kolkata Knight Riders on May 19 and Punjab Kings on May 15. It should be remembered that the RR-KKR game is the final one of the league phase.
