The IPL final will be played on 26 May in Chennai, five days before the start of the T20 World Cup in the West Indies and USA.
The BCCI had initially released only the first two weeks of the IPL schedule, because it clashes with India’s six-week-long general election.
Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi stadium will host the first qualifier and the eliminator on 21 May and 22 May, followed by the second qualifier on 24 May.
The final on 26 May will be held in the southern Indian city of Chennai.
Voting in India’s marathon elections begin on 19 April, with results expected on 4 June.
Defending champions the Chennai Super Kings began their campaign with a win at their home MA Chidambaram Stadium against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the opener.
Owing to the tournament clashing with elections, a few teams will have their home bases shifted to different venues.
The Punjab Kings, who started their season at the new stadium in Mullanpur, will culminate their home campaign in the Himalayan hill town of Dharamsala.
The Rajasthan Royals opted for a second venue in Guwahati, and will play their final two home matches in the northeastern state of Assam.
The Delhi Capitals will play all their remaining five home matches in front of their home crowd at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi, after opting to play their first two home matches in Visakhapatnam.
