Following last week's announcement of a March 28 start delay due to state elections, the IPL Governing Council has greenlit the first 13-14 days of fixtures for release on March 6 or 7. Defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru will host the opener at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, with five home games, a playoff, and the final there on May 31; the rest shift to Raipur.
