There will be 74 games in addition to 3 playoffs and 1 final game, bringing the tally to 78 games.

The BCCI conducted the mini-auction for IPL 2023 on December 23rd, 2022 in Kochi. It will be conducted for those players who were not part of the previous IPL season. The BCCI has scrapped the IPL auctions and instead will open a transfer window and carry out mini-auctions from time to time for teams to induct new players in their squads. 

Also, due to lifted COVID restrictions, the upcoming IPL matches will not be limited to a few venues. For more updates on IPL 2023, keep visiting our page at regular intervals.
