Subsequently, on 7 July 2021, TNCA got approval from the state government and announced the revised schedule.[3]

A total of three venues were used until 2019. Grounds in Dindigul and Tirunelveli hosts every match in the league stages between them. Tournament were planned to start at Tirunelveli and finals to be held at Salem Cricket Foundation Stadium.

Two new venues in Salem and Coimbatore were slated to host matches from 2020 onwards. The ground in Coimbatore was expected to host matches in the fourth season itself. But TNCA wanted age-group tournaments held there first before TNPL. Initially, no matches were scheduled to play in Chennai venue for the season.

As per the revised schedule announced on 7 July 2021, all the matches were played at M. A. Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai.[3]
