The delayed competition will be played across the UAE, with Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi hosting the matches.
The 56-game tournament begins on 19 September, with the final taking place on 10 November.
Mumbai won a record fourth IPL title with a one-run victory over Chennai in May 2019.
The IPL, which usually takes place between March and May, has been delayed because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Many of England's World Cup-winning team will be playing in the competition, including captain Eoin Morgan, opener Jonny Bairstow, fast bowler Jofra Archer and wicketkeeper Jos Buttler.
