IPL 2023 will be held over 12 venues throughout India and will revert to its traditional home-and-away structure. Due to COVID-19, the previous three seasons of the IPL were either relocated to the UAE or played at select Indian locations. But, now that the threat of COVID-19 has passed, the players will have the opportunity to play in front of their home audience.
