The Tamil Nadu Premier League 2025 is set to take place today (Thursday, June 5), with the defending champions Dindigul Dragons taking on Lyca Kovai Kings at SNR College Cricket Ground in Coimbatore.
The ninth edition of the TNPL will witness nine teams: Dindigul Dragons, Lyca Kovai Kings, Idream Tiruppur Tamizhans, Nellai Royal Kings, Salem Spartans, Chepauk Super Gillies, Madurai Panthers, and Trichy Grand Cholas - will compete for the prestigious domestic title. All nine teams will play in four venues - Comboitore’s NR College Cricket Ground, SCF Cricket Stadium in Salem, Tirunelveli’s CSK Ground, and NPR College Ground in Dindigul.
The final will take place at Dindigul’s NPR College Ground, as the venue was selected based on the home ground of the tournament’s defending champions. In the last season of the Tamil Nadu Premier League, 32 matches were played across five venues, including Chennai. However, for the 2025 edition, the matches have been limited to four venues, with Chennai missing out this time.

The ninth edition of the Tamil Nadu Premier League will take place in a double round robin format, with each team taking on each other twice in the league stage of the tournament. The top four teams on the points table will qualify for the playoffs, where the top two teams will play Qualifier 1 and the third and fourth-placed teams will square off in the Eliminator.
The winner of Qualifier 1 will directly qualify for the Final, while the loser of the round will face the winner of the Eliminator in Qualifier 2. Tamil Nadu Premier League’s format is very similar to the Indian Premier League, ensuring a fair chance for top-performing teams to reach the final with multiple playoff opportunities.
The TNPL 2025 will feature six double headers, which means six league matches each will take place on Saturdays and Sundays, with the afternoon matches taking place at 3:15 pm and the evening matches taking place at 7:15 pm.
