The IPL 2025 Mega Auction is set to be held in Jeddah, a Saudi Arabian Port City for 2 days – November 24 & 25. The auction was initially scheduled to be held in Riyadh, but it has now come to light that Abady Al Johar Arena will host the two-day auction after a last-minute change in venue.
The BCCI, on Tuesday, confirmed Jeddah as the venue. It also announced that 1574 players, including 320 capped players, 1224 uncapped players, and 30 players from Associate Nations, registered for the mega auction.
The BCCI also explored other international locations like Dubai, Singapore, and even Vienna, but Saudi Arabia has won the race to host one of the most-watched sporting events on television.
