IPL 2020 begins today with a clash between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings.

The Indian Premier League or IPL 2020 begins today with a clash between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK). IPL this year has been delayed by several months due to the Covid-19 pandemic. In fact, the pandemic is also the reason behind the disappointment of cricket fans given they won’t be able to watch the IPL matches live from the stadium this year. IPL 2020 has been shifted out of the country, yet again the reason being Covid-19. All the IPL matches will be played in the United Arab Emirates instead of India this year.

As IPL 2020 begins today most people will enjoy the comfort of their couch and watch the matches with their family. Like every year, IPL has live broadcasting partnerships. For television broadcast, IPL has a collaboration with Star Sports like every year. As far as the digital platforms are concerned people will be able to watch all IPL matches this year on Disney+ Hotstar alongside a few other platforms.
