IPL 2022 Live Streaming online: On March 26, the 15th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) will commence. This season of IPL comes after the 2021 season when the tournament had to be postponed and later shifted to the United Arab Emirates in September due to the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic. Despite the fixture unpredictability, the IPL 2021 finale took place on October 15 between Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders where CSK came out on top. Now, this season of the IPL comes with more surprises and bigger excitement as two new teams – Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants – have been added to the mix and now 10 teams will compete against each other to determine the best team out of them all. If the IPL fever has got you too, then you're not alone. Check out when and where you can watch the IPL matches live online.

IPL 2022 format

Ditching the round robin format seen till now, where every team will face each other twice, IPL season 15 brings in a new twist. This year, the ten teams have been divided into two groups on the basis of IPL final wins and appearances. Each team will play all the teams in their respective group twice. At the same time, teams will play all the teams in the other group one time. There is only one exception, and that is the similar parallel seeded team from the opposite group will be faced twice. If this sounds too complicated, perhaps an example will help. First, let's check the groups.

IPL 2022 teams

Group A: Mumbai Indians, Kolkata Knight Riders, Rajasthan Royals, Delhi Capitals, and Lucknow Super Giants

Group B: Chennai Super Kings, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Punjab Kings, and Gujarat Titans.

Parallel seeded teams: MI and CSK, KKR and SRH, RR and RCB, DC and PBKS, LSG and GT

So, KKR will face Mumbai, Rajasthan, Delhi, Lucknow and Sunrisers twice. It will face Chennai, Bangalore, Punjab and Gujarat once. This has been done to ensure there are only 14 games played by each team. It is going to be a HUMDINGER! So, don't miss out on watching IPL 2022 Live streaming online.

IPL 2022 venue

This year's IPL will be played in 4 stadiums across Mumbai and Pune. These are Wankhede Stadium, Brabourne Stadium, Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium and DY Patil Sports Stadium.
