The tournament will kick off on June 5, 2025, with the final of the competition scheduled to be held on July 6.
The season opener will see a repeat of 2024’s final, where Lyca Kovai Kings will lock horns against Dindigul Dragons in the first game. Both sides will face off at the Sri Ramakrishna College of Arts and Science Ground on June 5. It is also interesting to note that a total of 32 games will be played throughout the season across Coimbatore, Salem, Tirunelveli, and Dindigul.
Throughout the competition, a single round robin format will be followed, where each side will be playing the other teams once in the group stage. Furthermore, the top four teams in the group stage will be the ones that qualify for the knockout rounds.
Similar to the IPL (Indian Premier League), the top two teams will take on each other in qualifier 1, whereas the team that finishes in third and fourth place will take on each other in the eliminator. Furthermore, the winner of qualifier 1 will book its berth in the final, whereas the loser will take on the winner of the eliminator in qualifier 2 for a spot in the summit clash.
