The 15th edition of the Indian Premier League will be played in a bio-bubble environment in a single state to avoid air travel which is the biggest threat to the spread of Covid-19, thereby it may affect the players and the League.

Format of IPL 2022
As two new teams were added to the league the IPL governing body decided to change the format of the league and a new format was announced according to which:
A total of 74 matches will be played among which 70 matches will be played in the league stage and the remaining 4 will be played in the playoff. Each team will play a total of 14 league stage matches including 7 home matches and 7 away.
To decide on the above, the teams have been divided into two groups based on the number of IPL champion titles won followed by the number of final matches played by the respective teams.
