Ranji Trophy 2025 full schedule, match timings, streaming details in India

The highly recognised red-ball domestic cricket tournament of India -- Ranji Trophy -- is all set to resume after a brief hiatus, with its next round of matches starting Thursday (January 23). As per tradition, the group stage matches of the tournament will be played in a four-day format. The next round of Ranji Trophy 2025 is also highly anticipated as multiple members of India’s regular Test squad, including the likes of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant, Yashasvi Jaiswal, etc., are expected to be part of their respective domestic teams after their recent failures in Test cricket.

 

Apart from group stage games of the Elite groups, the Plate league final between Goa and Nagaland is also scheduled for the January 23–26 window of Ranji Trophy 2025.

 

Ranji Trophy 2025: Format 

The tournament is divided into two categories: the Elite category with 32 teams split into four groups, and the Plate category with six teams. In the Elite category, teams played each other once within their group, with the top two teams from each group advancing to the quarter-finals. In the Plate category, teams also played each other once, with the top four advancing to the knockout stage, while the bottom two competed for fifth and sixth positions. A playoff was held for third and fourth positions. The two Plate finalists earned promotion to the Elite category for the 2025–26 season, while the bottom two teams across all Elite groups, based on points and quotient, were relegated to the Plate category.
