The 13th edition is scheduled to be held in UAE from September 19 to November 10.

Previously after the sudden pullout by the Future Group and up-gradation of Dream11 as IPL 2020 official Title Sponsor, BCCI was left with two vacant slots for the IPL partnership this year. Now after signing with Unacademy and CRED filling up the slots, BCCI can breathe easily.
The Bengaluru-based credit card bill payment startup didn’t reveal the amount paid for the sponsorship. According to reports, it could have paid as much as Unacademy did – ₹120 crores.
