IPL 2023 Schedule: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has informed prospective broadcasters that it prefers an 8 p.m. start time for IPL matches beginning with the 2023 edition. This choice was taken since cricket matches often conclude around 8 p.m.

The contests now begin at 7:30 PM IST, and the calendars have been pushed forward towards the desire of Star Sports, the authorized broadcaster for the past 5 years. The BCCI has informed firms eager for broadcasting rights that it intends to offer them during the five-year term which will take part from 2023 to 2027.

During the first decade of the Indian Premier League, the fixtures used to begin at 4 p.m. with respect to days with double-headers and at 8 p.m. The current official broadcaster, Star, argued that starting the play at 7:30 PM will result in a significant increase in the audience while also providing more opportunities for utilization. As a direct result of this, the beginning times for the afternoon games have been moved forward to 3:30 p.m.
