IPL Schedule 2026
IPL 2026 Schedule- The countdown to India’s biggest cricket carnival has officially begun! The IPL 2026 (Season 19) is set to return with a refreshed timeline, now scheduled to take place from March 28 to May 31, 2026.
While the tournament was originally slated for a March 26 start, the BCCI has slightly adjusted the window to ensure a perfect kick-off following the high-octane T20 World Cup.
Defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will enjoy a historic homecoming as they open the season at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. After their maiden title win in 2025, the Bengaluru fans are eager to see if Rajat Patidar’s men can go back-to-back.
Due to the upcoming Assembly Elections in West Bengal, Assam, and Tamil Nadu, the IPL 2026 Schedule is being released in two phases.
The first phase covers the opening 20 days of action, featuring double-headers and marquee clashes between titans like Chennai Super Kings, Mumbai Indians, and Kolkata Knight Riders.
