There is a total of 10 teams in IPL 2022. The 10 teams are divided into two groups – A and B. The two groups are based on a seeding system determined by the number of IPL titles won or finals played by each team. Five-time champions Mumbai Indians (MI) headline Group A, four-time winners Chennai Super Kings (CSK) headline Group B.

• Each of the ten teams will play 14 matches each during the league stage. Each team will play twice against the teams in their group, and against the team in the same row as the other group. They will play once against the remaining four teams.
• The entire league stage of the IPL 2022 will be staged in four prominent cricket grounds of Maharashtra namely – Wankhede Stadium, DY Patil Stadium, Brabourne Stadium, and MCA International Stadium in Pune.
