IPL 2026 schedule - fixtures and results
Royal Challengers Bengaluru are the defending IPL champions
- Published
The full schedule for the 2026 Indian Premier League has been announced.
Teams have been split into two groups based on the number of titles they have won, but the results form one league table.
Group A: Chennai Super Kings, Kolkata Knight Riders, Rajasthan Royals, Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Punjab Kings.
Group B: Mumbai Indians, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Gujarat Titans, Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants.
A change has been made for this season to facilitate more high-profile matches. In the past three seasons teams in the same group have played each other twice and teams from the other group once. That's been reversed now so you play teams in your group once and the others twice.
