Out of the 56 league-stage fixtures, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata and Bengaluru will get to host a total of 10 matches each while Ahmedabad and Delhi will host 8 matches each. The BCCI has also stated that all the matches will be played at neutral venues and thus, no team will play at their home venue in IPL 2021.
