Punjab Kings (PBKS) has been part of the Indian Premier League (IPL) since its inaugural season and is among the franchises that have yet to win the title. They finished runner-up in IPL 2014 but haven’t made the playoffs after that excellent campaign. But there is hope for the PBKS faithful as, under Shreyas Iyer’s captaincy, the franchise has assembled a team with world-class and talented players for the upcoming IPL edition.
IPL 2025 PBKS Match Schedule
After years of disappointment, PBKS will be desperate to reach the playoffs in the upcoming season. In IPL 2024, the Mohali-based franchise hosted Delhi Capitals (DC) at Mullanpur Stadium in their opening match. They clinched a four-wicket win. Since then, they have struggled for consistency, winning just four of their 13 games in their campaign. PBKS will be eyeing two points in their IPL 2025 opener and sustain that momentum throughout the season.
Here’s PBKS’ IPL 2025 schedule:
