The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced the full league schedule of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 on Thursday, March 26. Earlier, only the first 20 matches were revealed. Now, all venues and fixtures are confirmed.
The delay happened due to Assembly elections in four states. The BCCI waited for the election dates before finalising the schedule.
The season will begin on March 28. Royal Challengers Bengaluru will face Sunrisers Hyderabad in Bengaluru. The league stage will end on May 24 with Kolkata Knight Riders playing Delhi Capitals in Kolkata.
Matches on single days will start at 7:30 pm IST. Double-header days will have games at 3:30 pm and 7:30 pm. There will be 12 double-header days.
A total of 70 matches will be played across 13 venues. Guwahati, Raipur, and Dharamsala are additional venues. Rajasthan Royals will play three home games in Guwahati. Punjab Kings will play in Dharamsala and Mullanpur.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru will also play two matches in Raipur this season.
The BCCI said, “the venues and dates for the playoffs and the final will be announced at a later date.”
