The IPL 2025 mega auction will take place on November 24 and 25 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. This is the second consecutive year it’s been held abroad, following the 2024 auction in Dubai.
This auction coincides with the third and fourth days of the first Test match between India and Australia in Perth.
Unlike the annual auctions, the mega auction occurs every three years, spanning two days instead of one, as all ten IPL franchises assemble their squads for the upcoming three seasons (2025-27).
Known as one of cricket’s most anticipated events, this auction draws significant attention from fans worldwide.
A total of 1,574 players registered for this year’s mega auction, as player registration officially closed on November 4, 2024. The list features 1,165 Indian and 409 overseas players, including 13 players from Bangladesh. The names are yet to be revealed.
Among these, there are 320 capped players, 1,224 uncapped players, and 30 players from Associate Nations.
