The Indian Premier League (IPL) (also known as the TATA IPL for sponsorship reasons) is a men's Twenty20 (T20) cricket league that is annually held in India and contested by ten city-based franchise teams. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) founded the league in 2007. The competition is usually held between March and May every year, and has an exclusive window in the ICC Future Tours Programme; fewer international cricket tours take place during IPL seasons.
The IPL is the most-popular cricket league in the world; in 2014, it was ranked sixth by average attendance among all sports leagues. In 2010, the IPL became the first sporting event to be broadcast live on YouTube. The brand value of the IPL in 2022 was ₹90,038 crore (US$11 billion).According to BCCI, the 2015 IPL season contributed ₹1,150 crore (US$140 million) to the gross domestic product (GDP) of the economy of India.In December 2022, the IPL became a decacorn valued at US$10.9 billion, registering a 75% growth in dollar terms since 2020 when it was valued at $6.2 billion, according to a report by consulting firm D & P Advisory.

As of 2023, there have been fifteen seasons of the tournament. The current title holders are the Gujarat Titans, who won the 2022 contest by defeating Rajasthan Royals in the final.
