Update: You can see our preview and how to watch the Mumbai vs Delhi IPL final here.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) is known as the most-attended cricket league in the world, but that will not be the case for the upcoming tournament, which will be the 13th in the event's history.
This year's competition, which was originally due to commence back in March, will be held without fans. Other colourful additions that have been a trademark of the glitzy tournament like cheerleaders will also be absent.
The entire event has been moved to the United Arab Emirates due to COVID-19 concerns in India. Players and officials from all eight teams have been in a bio-secure "bubble", with the action finally getting underway at midnight AEST on Sunday 20 September. First up, defending champions Mumbai Indians take on Chennai Super Kings.
Each team plays 14 group matches before a 4-team finals series takes place and you can catch every ball live in Australia.
This season the IPL is exclusive to Fox Cricket, Foxtel's channel dedicated 24 hours a day to cricket. That means you can follow the action with a Foxtel subscription or you can stream it using Foxtel Now or Kayo Sports. We have a complete cricket streaming guide with more information.
