Tournament Schedule: Your Quick Guide to Upcoming Sports Events

If you love catching games live, you need a solid schedule. Below you’ll find the most recent dates, times, and venues for the biggest tournaments happening in India. We keep it short, practical, and easy to read – perfect for busy fans who want the facts without the fluff.

Cricket Calendar – What’s on the Pitch

Cricket still tops the list for Indian viewers. The 2025 ODI series between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh kicks off on July 2 at R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo. Indian fans can watch it on Sony Sports Ten 2, Sony LIV, or FanCode. Keep an eye on the start time (morning in India) and plan for a quick snack before the innings begin.

Later in the year, the IPL returns in April with a full slate of matches across the country. Each game usually starts around 7:30 pm IST, and most streaming platforms update their schedules a week ahead. If you miss a match, the highlight reels drop the next morning, so you won’t fall behind.

Other Major Tournaments – Football, Badminton, and More

Football fans have the Indian Super League (ISL) running from November to March. Games are mostly on weekends, and the kickoff is usually at 7:00 pm local time. The official ISL app sends push notifications for match alerts – a handy trick to avoid missing a goal.

Badminton’s BWF World Tour also visits India several times a year, with the prestigious India Open in March. Matches begin in the afternoon and wrap up by night, making it easy to fit a session into a workday break.

For those who follow Kabaddi, the Pro Kabaddi League starts in July. Each match is a fast‑paced 40‑minute showdown, perfect for a quick lunchtime watch.

All these tournaments share a common pattern: the official league websites publish a PDF schedule a month before the season starts. Bookmark those pages or subscribe to their newsletters for the most accurate updates.

Lastly, remember that weather can affect outdoor events. A quick check on the local forecast the night before a match can save you from an unexpected rainout. If a game is postponed, most broadcasters roll the coverage into the next slot, so stay tuned to the channel’s announcements.

With this guide, you should be able to plan your week around the biggest sports moments without scrambling for info. Keep the schedule handy, set a reminder, and enjoy the action as it happens.
