Each team will play in four of the six designated venues during the league stage, the IPL release said.
In particular, each match will be held in a neutral venue with no team scheduled to play at their home stadium.
Chennai, Mumbai, Kolkata and Bengaluru will each host 10 matches, while Ahmedabad and Delhi will host eight matches during the league stages.
The knockout stages of the competition will be played entirely at the world’s largest cricket stadium in Ahmedabad.
Under safeguards due to the coronavirus epidemic, organizers have ensured that each team has to travel only three times during the league phase.
