Apart from the obvious change in the months that the IPL is being held, India's premier competition will be conducted in the UAE for the second time in history. The 2014 season saw the first leg of the IPL held in the UAE, and this will be the second time (apart from the 2009 season) the tournament is held outside the country for the whole campaign.

In the UAE, the Kings XI Punjab have the best record and are unbeaten in 5 games. Defending champions Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, have failed to win even one of their 5 games in the Middle East.

All the teams come into the 2020 IPL with very balanced rosters, and this season is expected to be one of the most tightly-contested in history.
