The 2022 Indian Premier League (also known as IPL 15 or for sponsorship reasons, TATA IPL 2022) was the fifteenth season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), a professional Twenty20 cricket league established by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in 2007. The tournament was played from 26 March 2022 to 29 May 2022. The group stage of the tournament was played entirely in the state of Maharashtra, with Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Pune hosting matches.

Background
Although earlier reports suggested the addition of two more teams in the previous season, the BCCI delayed the expansion of the league until 2022. In August 2021, it was confirmed that two new franchises would join the league in 2022, with a shortlist of locations including Ahmedabad, Cuttack, Dharamshala, Guwahati, Indore and Lucknow.
In a closed bidding auction held in October 2021, RPSG Group and CVC Capital won the right to the two new franchises. RPSG paid ₹7,090 crore (US$740 million) for the Lucknow franchise, and CVC won the Ahmedabad franchise for ₹5,625 crore (US$590 million). The Lucknow team was named as Lucknow Super Giants in January 2022, and the Ahmedabad team was named as Gujarat Titans the following month.
Vivo pulled out as the title sponsor of the tournament on 11 January 2022, having previously withdrawn as sponsors in 2020 and later signing a contract until 2023. The Tata Group was later named as the replacement title sponsor for the remainder of Vivo's contract.
Personnel changes
Each existing team was allowed to retain a maximum of four players, with the two new teams were allowed to select a maximum of three players before the auction. The retained players of the existing eight teams were announced on 30 November 2021, and the two new teams named their selections on 22 January 2022.
The player auction to complete team squads took place on 12 and 13 February 2022 in Bangalore. Ishan Kishan was the most expensive buy of the auction, bought by Mumbai Indians for ₹15.25 crore (US$1.6 million). The most expensive overseas player was Liam Livingstone, bought by Punjab Kings for ₹11.50 crore (US$1.2 million).
Format
With the introduction of the new teams, a ten-team format was created based on minor opponent rule, consisting of 74 matches with each team playing 14 matches. The ten teams were divided into two groups of five. BCCI has announced in the group stage each team will be playing twice against the teams in their group and against the team in the same row in the other group; against the remaining four teams in the other group, each team will play only once. The format is similar to the one used in 2011, although in 2022 the teams were drawn into groups according to seeding, instead of being drawn randomly.
