The 19th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 is currently underway, with defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) taking on Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on March 28 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, in the season opener. This season features ten franchises competing for glory, with a total of 74 matches: 70 league-stage games and four playoff fixtures.
The teams are divided into two groups. Each franchise will face teams from the opposite group twice and play against teams from their own group once, totalling 14 league matches per team. The top four teams in the points table will advance to the playoffs, culminating in the grand finale scheduled for May 31.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) released the schedule in two phases, with the first 20 games played consecutively, and the remaining matches arranged later to accommodate state assembly elections in certain home venues. This season promises thrilling cricket, with some teams aiming for their maiden IPL title while others strive to add another trophy to their collection.
