The 19th season of the IPL 2026 is all set to begin on March 28, and the defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru will be taking on Sunrisers Hyderabad at the iconic M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

The BCCI has only confirmed the first half of the IPL 2026 schedule due to upcoming assembly elections in states like West Bengal and Tamil Nadu. The board has released the schedule for only the first 20 matches so far, which will be played until April 12. The remaining fixtures are expected to be announced later.

This season comes after a historic victory for RCB in IPL 2025. Under the leadership of Rajat Patidar, the team finally ended its long wait for a title by winning its maiden IPL trophy. They defeated the Punjab Kings, led by Shreyas Iyer, in a thrilling final.
