IPL 2020, UAE: TV channel, start time & schedule for every IPL 13 match

IPL 2020 gets underway in the UAE on Saturday, with Mumbai Indians (MI) taking on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the opener of the Indian Premier League’s 13th edition an here’s where you can watch every game live.

After a delay of over six months, IPL 2020 gets underway in the vastly different surroundings of the UAE – there will be no crowds, there will be less of the general noise and glitz, and when MI and CSK clash, it will seem something’s missing.

However, what won’t be missing is the action. The tournament’s start, with Rohit Sharma’s defending champions taking on the recently-retired MS Dhoni’s side in a repeat of IPL 2019’s final, the prospect is mouthwatering.

Some interesting choices in this 👀
