The '''2018 season''' of the '''[[Indian Premier League]]''', also known as '''IPL 11''', was the eleventh season of the IPL, a professional [[Twenty20 cricket]] league established by the [[Board of Control for Cricket in India|BCCI]] in 2007. The season, which was held from 7 April to 27 May, saw the return of the [[Chennai Super Kings]] and the [[Rajasthan Royals]] after serving two years of suspension for the involvement of their respective owners in the [[2013 Indian Premier League betting case|2013 IPL betting case]]. [[Star Sports (Indian TV network)|Star Sports]] purchased the media rights at ₹16,347.5 crore ($2.55 billion) for five years starting from 2018.<ref name=broadcast>{{cite web|title=Star India wins IPL media rights for Rs 16,347.5 crore for 5 seasons|url=http://www.livemint.com/Sports/Y1ntXhFiTKzj0s2cojpaeK/Star-India-Sony-and-Reliance-Jio-among-top-14-bidders-for-I.html|website=LiveMint|access-date=28 February 2018|language=en}}</ref>

This was the first season of the IPL to use [[Umpire Decision Review System|DRS]].<ref>{{cite web|title=BCCI gives the green signal to DRS in IPL 2018|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/sports/ipl-2018/bcci-gives-the-green-signal-to-drs-in-ipl-5080852/|website=Indian Express|access-date=28 February 2018|language=en}}</ref> IPL Fanpark, an initiative where matches are hosted in stadia on a large screen has been planned to be held across 36 cities in 19 states across the India.<ref>{{cite web|title=VIVO IPL Fan Park gets bigger and better|url=https://www.iplt20.com/news/115146/vivo-ipl-fan-park-gets-bigger-and-better|website=IPLT20.com|access-date=5 April 2018|language=en}}</ref> This season also introduced mid-season transfers. The [[transfer window]] will be a short five-day transfer window applicable only for uncapped players who have played not more than two matches at the halfway mark of the tournament.<ref>{{cite web|title=Rohit endorses mid-season transfer window in IPL|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/23039518/rohit-sharma-endorses-mid-season-transfer-window-ipl|website=ESPNCricinfo|access-date=7 April 2018|language=en}}</ref>

=== Format ===
Eight teams are scheduled to play in 2018. The tournament involves each team playing every other team twice in a [[Season (sports)#Regular (home and away) season|home-and-away]], double [[Round-robin tournament|round-robin]] format. At the conclusion of the double round-robin league, the top four teams on the basis of aggregate points qualify for the [[playoffs]]. In this stage, the top two teams compete with each other (in a match titled "Qualifier 1"), as do the remaining two teams (in a match titled "Eliminator"). While the winner of Qualifier 1 directly qualifies for the final match, the losing team gets another chance to qualify for the final match by playing the winning team of the Eliminator match; this match is titled Qualifier 2. The winner of this subsequent Qualifier 2 match moves onto the final match. The team that wins the final match is crowned the Indian Premier League winners. The schedule for the tournament was published on 14 February 2018.<ref name = "CricBuzz schedule">{{cite web|title=Defending champions MI host CSK in IPL 2018 opener|url=http://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/100400/mumbai-indians-chennai-super-kings-indian-premier-league-cricket-2018|website=Cricbuzz|access-date=15 February 2018|language=en}}</ref>

Ten venues were selected to host the matches. The opening match and the final will be played at the [[Wankhede Stadium]] in Mumbai. The venues for the two playoffs were not announced initially due to the norm of allotting the Eliminator and second qualifier to the home stadium of last season's runner-up, and the fact that the 2017 runner-up, [[Rising Pune Supergiant]] were no longer a part of the IPL.<ref>{{cite web|title=Pune demands to host IPL play-offs|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/22409882/pune-demands-host-ipl-play-offs|website=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=13 February 2018}}</ref> Later, both playoffs were allotted to Pune but after the venue of Chennai Super Kings was moved there, the matches were shifted to Kolkata.<ref>{{cite web|title=Pune to host two IPL playoff matches|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/22802323/pune-host-two-ipl-playoff-matches|website=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=17 March 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=IPL playoff games moved from Pune to Kolkata|url=http://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/101874/ipl-playoff-games-moved-from-pune-to-kolkata|website=Cricbuzz|date=4 May 2018|access-date=4 May 2018}}</ref>

{{Main|List of 2018 Indian Premier League personnel changes}}

The IPL Governing Council announced that each IPL franchise could retain a maximum of five players from their respective current squads. Of the five players, a franchise could retain a maximum of three players through retention in lead up to the auction, and a maximum of three players through right-to-match card during the auction. The other restrictions on player retention were: a maximum of three capped Indian players could be retained, and only two overseas players and two uncapped Indian players could be retained. The salary cap for each team for the 2018 season was increased from ₹66 crore to ₹80 crore (approximately $12.4 million). A franchise was allowed to spend only ₹33 crore on retentions ahead of the 2018 IPL auction, leaving it at least ₹47 crore to spend at the auction.<ref>{{cite web|title=IPL franchises allowed to retain up to five players |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/21686284/ipl-franchises-allowed-retain-five-players|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|date=6 December 2017|access-date=6 December 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=IPL franchises allowed to retain up to five players |url=http://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/98824/ipl-franchises-allowed-to-retain-upto-five-players-indian-premier-league|publisher=cricbuzz|date=6 December 2017|access-date=6 December 2017}}</ref>
