In this article, I will show you how to watch IPL 2022 on FireStick, Fire TV Cube, Fire TV Stick Lite, and other Amazon streaming devices. The guide includes paid as well as free methods, so make sure you read to the end.
After organizing a second half in the UAE, IPL 2022 is back at home. If you are a cricket enthusiast, I am sure your excitement level is through the roof, regardless of where you live.
After a thrilling IPL auction in Banglore, all the ten (eight existing teams and two new ones) will be back in action from March 26 for this year’s high-profile drama on the cricket field. This time the excitement is at another level with two new teams joining the action – Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Supergiants.
With the mega auction, old champions like Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings will no longer start as favorites. The tables have turned, and it will be up to the final team combination to predict the top four semi-finalists. Here’s how you can watch IPL 2022 on firestick without cable.
What Is the IPL?
The IPL (Indian Premier League) is a Twenty20 cricket league played by eight teams (this time it’s ten teams). Usually, it is held between March and May. According to various reports, the IPL is the most-attended cricket league in the world. So far, fourteen seasons of the IPL tournament have been played so far.
Let’s take a look at the rules real quick. Each team plays each other twice in a home-and-away round-robin format, similar to the English Premier League.
At the end of the regular league, the top four teams will qualify for the playoffs. Out of the four teams, the top two teams will play against each other in Qualifier 1, where the winner will go straight to the final. The loser will get another chance to qualify for the IPL final by playing another qualifier match.
On the other hand, the teams in third and fourth positions will play against each other in an Eliminator match. The winner will play the loser from Qualifier 1 match in the Qualifier 2 match.
The winner of Qualifier 2 will move onto the final to play the Qualifier 1 winner in the Finals, where the winner will be crowned the Indian Premier League champions. The IPL 2022 final is scheduled on May 29 at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
IPL 2022 Details: Date, Venue, and Time
Now that IPL has 10 teams, we are looking at a total of 74 matches (instead of 60) over the span of two months. Last year’s finalists CSK and KKR will start the on-field action on March 26, 7:30 PM in the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, Maharastra.
Keeping the COVID guidelines in mind, all the teams will play all the matches in Maharastra state alone. BCCI has selected Wankhede, DY Patil, Brabourne – CCI, and MCA Stadium in Pune at the official venue for regular matches.
Qualifier, eliminator, and final matches are going to be held in the neighboring state – Gujarat. The Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad will play the host duties for all these matches.
All said and done, it’s time to explore our options to watch the remaining leg of the Indian Premier League 2022, which I promise will be the most interesting part.
The league matches will start from March 26 and they will go on till May 22. The final is scheduled on May 29, 2022.

Governments and ISPs constantly monitor your online activity, and accessing copyrighted content on your Fire TV Stick could lead to serious trouble. Currently, your IP is visible to everyone.

I personally use ExpressVPN, the fastest and most secure VPN available. Not only is it easy to install on any device, it comes with a risk-free 30-day money-back guarantee. Plus, if you're not 100% satisfied, you can always get a refund. ExpressVPN is currently also offering a whopping 3 extra months free on their annual plan!

Free Apps to Watch IPL 2022 on FireStick (Unverified)
Legal Disclaimer: This tutorial is purely educational. FireStickTricks.com doesn’t own, host, operate, resell, or distribute any streaming apps, addons, websites, IPTV or services. The page contains some unverified services, and we are not certain whether they hold legal licenses to distribute the content.

If you think Amazon FireStick is confined to just official apps, then, my friend, you are wrong. The good news is you can enjoy IPL 2022 through third-party streaming apps, Kodi addons, and IPTV services. Unlike official apps, you need to sideload these apps through the Downloader app because they’re not available in the Amazon App Store.
Well, third-party apps can be free, but at the same time, these services may not carry proper licenses to stream IPL games. It is worth mentioning that streaming copyrighted content through an unverified app is an illegal and punishable offense.
Also, I would like to remind you that FireStickTricks.com does not verify the legality or security of third-party apps or Kodi addons. Moreover, we do not endorse content piracy, and your use of the information in this article is solely your responsibility.
If you have decided to proceed with third-party apps anyway, I suggest you use a trusted VPN service like ExpressVPN on your FireStick device, which will help you stay anonymous. Here’s how to get started:
Step 1: Subscribe to ExpressVPN HERE. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Meaning, you can use it free for the first 30-days and if you are not satisfied with the performance (which is highly unlikely), you can ask for a full refund.
Step 2: Power ON your Fire TV Stick and go to Find followed by Search option.
Step 3: Now type “Expressvpn” (without quotes) in the search bar and select ExpressVPN when it shows up in the search results.
Step 4: Click Download to install the ExpressVPN app on Fire TV / Stick.
Step 5: Open the app and enter the login credentials that you created while buying the ExpressVPN subscription. Click Sign in.
Step 6: Click the Power icon to connect to a VPN server. That’s all. Your connection is now secure with the fastest and best VPN for FireStick.
You can also read more detailed info on using ExpressVPN with Fire TV / Stick.

How to Watch IPL 2022 on FireStick Using a Browser (Unverified)
Besides installing official and third-party apps, you can do a bit of internet browsing and stream on FireStick through Silk Browser. There are several free sports streaming sites for you to try.
Note that not all streaming sites are safe. You may come across ads and trackers that can steal your personal details. Any action you take is at your own risk. Additionally, the streaming experience offered on such sites is usually sub-par. I recommend sticking to my other suggestions.
Conclusion
There you have it. You are all set to watch IPL 2022 on firestick without cable. As for my predictions, I would place my bets on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Mumbai Indians (MI) to win this one. Both teams look solid on paper and they both have managed to retain the core team even after the auctions. But most importantly, both KKR and MI have an excellent bowling lineup (Lucknow too but they don’t have depth in batting) that can restrict any team to an average score.
