The Maharaja T20 Trophy 2025 has been shifted from Bengaluru to Mysuru following the failure of the Karnataka State Cricket Association to secure clearance from the Bengaluru Police. The fourth season will now be contested from August 11 to August 27. This new twist implies that the franchises except Mysore Warriors have had to struggle on the logistics side. The majority of the teams have been practicing at alternative venues around the Garden City for the last week. The KSCA have been at the centre of a storm after 11 individuals have lost their lives and more than 50 others were injured in the stampede at the Chinnaswamy Stadium during Royal Challengers Bengaluru's victory celebration over their first title victory this year. A call for action came towards the end of last month as a committee was charged by the Bengaluru state government to initiate a full-scale inquiry into the tragedy. One of the key findings in the report was Chinnaswamy Stadium being classified as 'unsafe' for hosting big events. There were firm suggestions from the committee that big events be shifted to facilities which were "better suited" for handling big crowds.

Arrangements are also being made for pitches, playing surfaces and broadcasting facilities which are to be put up on a temporary basis, according to an ESPNcricinfo report. The Chinnaswamy has already been scheduled to host five matches of next year's Women's World Cup, due to start in September. Still, the International Cricket Council is not heeding the relocation of the Maharaja Trophy from Bengaluru as a wakeup call just yet. On the other hand, the Maharani T20 Trophy, the KSCA's women's competition which has no begun on August 4, will continue to be played on the outskirts of Bengaluru in Alur.
