The tournament was supposed to start on March 29, 2020, but the tournament was postponed to April 15, 2020. Nothing Is in Favour of Any Kind of Sport, Forget IPL: BCCI President Sourav Ganguly.

There were several reports that claimed that the IPL 2020 could happen later in September or November. Ganguly while speaking to a leading daily also said that that the crisis could extend until May this year. “I will be able to give an update on that on Monday after speaking to the other office-bearers (of BCCI). But practically speaking, when life has come to a standstill everywhere in the world, where does sport have a future in this," Sourav Ganguly told The New Indian Express.
