The 2021 Indian Premier League, also known as IPL 14 or, for sponsorship reasons, Vivo IPL 2021,[1] will be the fourteenth season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), a professional Twenty20 cricket league established by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in 2007. It is set to be played between April and May 2021.[2] Mumbai Indians are the two times defending champions, having won both the 2019 and the 2020 seasons.[3][4]

Background

Although earlier reports suggested the addition of two more teams in the season,[5][6][7] the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in their 89th AGM announced that there would not be any additional team for this season and the inclusion of two new teams should happen only in 2022.[8][9]

On 30 January 2021, the BCCI confirmed that they were confident to host the tournament in India. They also said that the UAE wasn't being considered as a backup venue.[2]

The players' auction was held on 18 February 2021 in Chennai.[11] A total of 1097 players initially registered for the auction[12] out of which 292 were selected for the auction.[13]
