The Indian Premier League (IPL) for the year 2026 is set to commence with a match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the M.

This season, Chinnaswamy Stadium is expected to host five matches, with two of RCB's home games likely to be played at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Stadium in Raipur.
