Format
The tournament was the first edition to feature a qualifying stage, which consists of six teams competing for three spots in the main tournament. The main tournament had the same format as the previous year. It consists of 23 matches, and is divided into a group stage and a knockout stage. If a match ends in a tie, a Super Over will be played to determine the winner.
The group stage has the teams divided into two equal groups, with each playing a round-robin tournament. The top two teams of each group advance to the knockout stage. The knockout stage consists of two semi-finals, with the top team of one group facing the second from the other. The winners of the semi-finals play the grand final to determine the winners of the competition.[2]

Squads
Eight players were originally nominated for two squads and the players were allowed to decide which team they would play for in the tournament. All players chose to play for their Indian Premier League team.[8] The tournament rules state each team may only field four overseas players but an exception was made for the Mumbai Indians. They were allowed to field five overseas players as many of their Indian players were unable to play due to injury. Without the exception they would have been unable to construct a team of eleven.[9]
Venues
The tournament was hosted at three venues across India with the qualifying stage to be held at Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium. Both the Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore played some of their group stage matches at their home grounds.
The Chennai Super Kings would play their semi-final in Chennai if they qualify. Similarly, unless they play against the Chennai Super Kings, the Royal Challengers Bangalore would play their semi-final in Bengaluru if they qualify. Chennai will host the final.[10]
