This led to the matches starting at 7:30 PM on weekdays, and weekends having both a 7:30 PM and a 3:30 PM game. This was done in an attempt to increase viewership and monetization, by trying to align it with prime time.{{Cite web |date=2020-08-03 |title=IPL 2020: 7.30 PM start timings for evening matches a good move, says Aakash Chopra |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/sports/cricket/story/aakash-chopra-happy-with-ipl-2020-revised-match-timings-1707303-2020-08-03 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200803112902/https://www.indiatoday.in/sports/cricket/story/aakash-chopra-happy-with-ipl-2020-revised-match-timings-1707303-2020-08-03 |archive-date=2020-08-03 |access-date=2024-05-26 |website=India Today |language=en}}{{Cite web |date=2020-09-07 |title=BCCI announces schedule for Dream11 IPL 2020 |url=https://www.iplt20.com/news/206478/bcci-announces-schedule-for-dream11-ipl-2020 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200907084114/https://www.iplt20.com/news/206478/bcci-announces-schedule-for-dream11-ipl-2020 |archive-date=2020-09-07 |access-date=2024-05-26 |website=Indian Premier League}}
