IPL 2026 Schedule LIVE: In just over two weeks, another Indian Premier League season will start in earnest. All 10 teams are in preparation mode, with players assembling across the country for camps. With elections in multiple states like Assam, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu and Kerala making the IPL schedule tricky, it’s expected that the schedule will only be announced for the first 20 days of the season.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru come into IPL 19 as the defending champions while Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings will be the most successful (each having won five titles). RCB are expected to play only a portion of their matches at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru with Raipur slotted to host their home games as well.

The start date of the 2026 edition of the Indian Premier League was officially confirmed on Sunday by the official broadcaster as well as several franchises with the tournament set to begin on March 28 which is a Saturday. However, the schedule wasn’t announced just yet.
This is reportedly due to BCCI opting to release the fixtures in two phases as they wait for the Election commission to announce dates for elections in West Bengal, Assam and Tamil Nadu. The first phase of the fixtures are expected tpo be announced pretty soon while the second phase will be announced after the election dates are fixed in these 3 states.
