The Indian Premier League continues to be one of the most lucrative cricket tournaments in the world, and IPL 2025 is no exception. The prize pool for this season has been confirmed, with an increase in the winner’s earnings compared to previous years. Teams will not only compete for the trophy but also for a substantial financial reward.
Key Takeaways for IPL 2025
The champions of IPL 2025 will take home ₹21 crore (~$2.45 million), which is ₹1 crore more than the previous four seasons.

Meanwhile, the teams finishing third and fourth will earn ₹8 crore (~$1 million) and ₹7 crore (~$0.68 million), respectively.
Apart from team rewards, individual players will have the opportunity to earn additional financial incentives based on their performances throughout the tournament.
