2016 Indian Premier League

Eight teams contested the season. Two teams, Rising Pune Supergiants and Gujarat Lions, based in Pune and Rajkot were new to the tournament, replacing the Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals franchises which had been suspended until 2018.

The schedule for the tournament was published on 10 March 2016. The league stage, consisting of 56 matches, took place between 9 April and 22 May 2016. The top four teams qualified for the play-off stage, with the final being held in Bangalore on 29 May.

On 14 July 2012, the RM Lodha committee suspended the owners of the Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals franchises for a period of two years on charges of 2012 IPL spot-fixing caseduring during the 2012 IPL season. This meant that the two teams could not play in the 2016 and 2017 IPL seasons.{{cite news |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/story/898461.html|title= CSK, RR owners suspended for two years |date=14 July 2012 |publisher=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=14 July 2012}} The Board of Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed that two new teams will replace them for the next two seasons of the IPL.

In October 2012, DLF Ltd withdrew as the title sponsor of the IPL, terminating a five-year deal which was to end in 2017. Chinese smartphone manufacturer Vivo was awarded the title sponsorship for the 2016 and 2017 seasons.{{cite web|title=IPL rings in Vivo Mobiles|url=http://www.thehindu.com/sport/ipl-rings-in-vivo-mobiles/article7778268.ece|work=The Hindu|access-date=1 December 2012}}

On 3 December, it was reported that twelve companies collected tender documents for the bidding process.

On 1 December 2012, it was announced that New Rising, a company led by Sanjiv Goenka, and Intex Technologies had won the bidding rights to the two new teams.

The High Court questioned the BCCI about whether "people are more important or your IPL matches". The BCCI argued that the water being used at the venues was tanker water and not drinkable.

On 8 April, the Chief Minister of Maharashtra Devendra Fadnavis declared that potable water will not be supplied to the venues and added "even if IPL matches are shifted, we have no problem." On 9 April, hours before the season's opening match, the Mumbai Cricket Association claimed that the water being used at the Wankhede Stadium was bought from private operators and not Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation.{{cite news|title=IPL 2016: To water the Wankhede stadium, MCA taps private operators|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/sports/cricket/ipl-2016-to-water-wankhede-stadium-mca-taps-private-operators/|access-date=9 April 2016|work=The Indian Express}}

On 29 April, it was announced that all league stage matches scheduled to be held after 1 May in Mumbai and Pune were shifted to the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam.
