The remaining 31 matches will be played at three venues— 13 matches in Dubai, 10 in Sharjah and eight in Abu Dhabi. The League will resume with a Mumbai Indians (MI) versus Chennai Super Kings (CSK) match.

The tournament was initially held in India in April-May and was suspended on May 4, just over the halfway stage, after multiple players and support staff tested positive for the coronavirus.

After the suspension, Star Sports informed advertisers to pay only for the 29 matches that had been played. They were even given the flexibility to opt out of the ad deals when the League resumed.

While Star Sports had signed 18 sponsors, their OTT streaming partner, Disney+ Hotstar, had 14 sponsors on board.
