IPL Expantions in 2028: A total of 74-74 matches have been played in the Indian Premier League (IPL) for the last three seasons. Only 74 matches will be played in the 2025 season. From 2022, two new teams made tournament steps in the form of Lucknow Super Giants and Gujarat Titans, after which the number of matches was increased. However, earlier also more than 74 matches have been played in the season. But now in the news that came out, it was told that in the tournament, 94 matches can be seen instead of 74. So let’s know what is the whole matter.

94 matches will be played instead of 74, got big hint (IPL)

In fact, IPL chairman Arun Dhumal while talking to ESPNcricinfo said that from 2028, fans can see 94 matches instead of 74 in IPL. Let us tell you that there is no plan to bring new teams to increase the tournament from the BCCI. Along with the old teams, the tournament can be witnessed. In the 2025 season, a plan was being made to get 84 matches done, but this was not done due to the window and more double-header.

What did Arun Dhumal say about the expansion of the tournament?

The IPL chairman said, “Obviously this can be an opportunity. We are discussing in the ICC, we are also talking in BCCI. Bilateral and ICC events, franchisees and T20 cricket’s interest in the interest of fans in relation to franchise cricket and T20 cricket, we have to talk more seriously and see how we can get more serious about this.”

The IPL chairman further said, “Ideally, we want a big window or we want to go from 74 to 84 or 94 matches at a point. All teams get a chance to play on domestic and outdoor fields against all teams, so you will need 94 matches.”

A lot depends on media rights

The report said that the cycle of new media rights will start from 2028. Therefore, the expansion of the tournament has been thought from 2028. Now it will be interesting to see when there is an extension in the tournament.
