The IPL 2025 was postponed primarily due to security concerns stemming from escalating tensions and conflict between India and Pakistan. There were incidents like power failures and air raid alerts in IPL venues close to the border areas, and the safety of players, officials, and fans became a major concern. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) decided to suspend the tournament for at least one week, with consideration for further delays, to prioritize national security and collective welfare. The tournament is planned to resume with a revised schedule after the situation is reassessed.
