The 16th edition of the Indian Premier League, IPL 2023, is all set to get underway on March 31 with a high-voltage clash between defending champions Gujarat Titans (GT) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

While the tournament was restricted to a handful of venues last year, IPL will return to its home-and-away format this season. As per the same, each side will play seven home games and as many away fixtures.

A total of 70 league stage matches will be played across 12 venues over 52 days. IPL 2023 will feature 18 double headers, with the day games starting at 3:30 PM IST and the evening games beginning at 7:30 PM IST.

IPL 2023 will see the introduction of the ‘Impact Player’ rule, while captains have been allowed to announce their playing XIs after the toss. Like in the Women’s Premier League (WPL), teams can also use DRS for wides and no-balls.

IPL 2023 live streaming in India

While Star Sports will live telecast IPL 2023 matches, the live streaming of the games will not be available on Disney+Hotstar this time.

Instead, JioCinema app will live-stream all the IPL 2023 matches since Viacom 18 has bagged the digital media rights.

In a major development, viewers will not have to pay any subscription fee to watch the live stream of the IPL matches. This was not the case earlier, as fans had to pay and subscribe to Disney+Hotstar to watch games.
