Exciting IPL 2026 Final: RCB vs GT

The final match of the 2026 Indian Premier League (IPL) will see Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) face off against Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday, May 31. Both teams are vying for their second championship title. RCB, the reigning champions, are looking to achieve consecutive victories, a milestone previously reached only by Chennai Super Kings in 2010 and 2011, as well as Mumbai Indians in 2019 and 2020.

On the other hand, the Titans aim to secure their second title in just five years, potentially becoming the first team to win their initial two championships under different captains. If Shubman Gill leads them to victory, it would follow their first title under Hardik Pandya's captaincy in 2022. Both franchises celebrated their inaugural wins in Ahmedabad, and one will add another trophy at the same venue this time.

This final marks the 13th occurrence in 16 seasons where the teams competing are the same as those in the first qualifier. Historically, the winner of the first qualifier has claimed the trophy in the last seven seasons. This will be the fourth final encounter between RCB and GT, with RCB winning two and GT one. Notably, GT's victory came in Ahmedabad, where they have excelled this season with five wins out of seven matches.
