The Board of Control for Cricket in India has released the schedule for the initial 20 matches of the Indian Premier League 2026, starting March 28 with defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru hosting Sunrisers Hyderabad at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. The full fixture list will follow after state election dates are confirmed in three regions. This phase includes four double-headers across 10 venues.

The BCCI has pushed back the IPL 2026 initial schedule release—originally set for March 9—to by March 12, covering the first 20 days ahead of the March 28 start with defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru hosting the opener at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. The two-phase rollout accounts for state elections, while a new LPG shortage from the US-Israel-Iran conflict threatens logistics; the final remains May 31 in Bengaluru.
