Media reports said that the board is thinking of organizing the IPL from September 26.

On Tuesday, Cricket Australia said that it seems impossible to organize the ICC T20 World Cup this year.
According to Mumbai Mirror, IPL can be held between late September to early November. It can be played between 26 September to 8 November. These dates are subject to change in case of postponement or cancellation of the T20 World Cup in Australia.

If the IPL starts in September, then matches will be held in South India. Because at that time there will be no monsoon. Therefore it is possible that all the IPL matches can be held in Chennai and Bengaluru.
The BCCI’s priority was to make the matches in Mumbai. But the way in which cases of coronavirus infection have come up in Maharashtra, especially in Mumbai, there is hardly any chance to held matches there. If conditions improve, matches can be held in Mumbai.
