After establishing that the TATA IPL 2022 will include ten teams, the BCCI reintroduced the IPL 2011 playing format. A total of 74 matches, including four playoff matches, will be played.
As previously stated, the ten clubs will play 60 matches, with each team playing 14 league matches and facing each other twice in each league match.
The 15th season of the Tata IPL 2022 would be held in a single hub, considering the Covid-19 transmission and the players’ bio-bubble. As a result, the players will not have to travel as far, lowering the risk of Covid-19 infection and the likelihood of cricketers contracting the disease during the league.
The Tata IPL 2022 will begin on March 26 and end on May 29, with the final on May 29. The location of the playoff matches, on the other hand, will be determined later. The state of Maharashtra has been designated as a single hub.
70 league matches will be contested at three venues in Mumbai and one venue in Pune. Wankhede Stadium and DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai will host 20 matches apiece, while Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai and MCA International Stadium in Pune will host 15 matches each.

TATA IPL 2022 Format and New Rules
The format of the IPL 2022 is not new to the IPL cricket world. The format was used in the 2011 Indian Premier League, which had a total of ten clubs.
- All ten teams are divided into two groups with five teams each.
- Once and twice, a random draw was performed to select the groups and who would play who in each group.
Virtual group are as below:
- Each team plays 14 games in the group stage, facing the other four teams in group twice (one at home and one away), four teams from the other group once, and the last team twice.
- For example, let’s talk about Kolkata Knight Riders. They will play two matches each against Mumbai Indians, Delhi Capitals, Rajasthan Royals, and Lucknow Super Giants in Group A. From the other group, KKR will play two games against Hyderabad, who are there in their row, and they will play one match each against the other four teams in Group B.
The schedule of IPL 2022 is given below in matrix form:
- The IPL Points Table system awards two points to the team that wins a match. There will be no points awarded to the losing team. In a tie or a no-result, both teams will receive one point.
- After the group stage, a four-game playoff stage is contested. The playoffs will consist of four games:
- The 1st and 2nd teams in the group stage will play in Qualifier 1.
- The 3rd and 4th teams in the group stage will play in Eliminator.
- The loser of Qualifier 1 and the winner of the Eliminator will play in Qualifier 2.
- The winners of Qualifiers 1 and 2 will play in the Final.
