The official IPL 2026 schedule for Sunrisers Hyderabad has been officially revealed. The Board of Control for Cricket in India has announced the dates and venues for IPL 2026 on live television on March 11, 2026, at 7 PM IST.

Sunrisers Hyderabad, a franchise which is yet to win the IPL glory, will start off their campaign on the inaugural day of the mega event on March 28. SRH will clash against the defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru at Bengaluru.

However, it is to be noted that the full IPL 2026 schedule has not been rolled out officially yet. Due to elections in several states, the roster will be released in several phases instead of being announced all at once.

Ahead of the scheduled release, the franchise made some strong acquisitions in the IPL 2026 auction, acquiring heavyweights who surely will look forward to making some impacts this season.

The Pat Cummins-led team will be hungry in their quest for their first-ever title as Sunrisers. In the previous season, the Sunrisers Hyderabad team, co-owned by Kavya Maran, finished sixth on the points table with six wins from 14 matches.

Hence, they will be looking to make it to the playoffs this time, especially with big names like Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head in their squad.

For the unaware, SRH have made 10 new acquisitions in this edition of the Indian Premier League 2026 auction, filling out their 25-member squad with eight overseas buys.

Nevertheless, as they currently have only four matches scheduled, Sunrisers Hyderabad have multiple games left to be scheduled at their home as well as away venues once the rest of the roster is released.

SRH IPL 2026 Auction Review

As expected of the franchise, Sunrisers Hyderabad have retained their monster batting core led by Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Heinrich Klaasen and Ishan Kishan, and have also maintained the core lineup with skipper Pat Cummins at the helm.

Harshal Patel and Nitish Kumar Reddy have also been retained alongside Brydon Carse, Jaydev Unadkat, and Aniket Verma in the 25-member troop. Interestingly, the most expensive buy of SRH in the IPL 2026 auction was the new addition Liam Livingstone, whom they roped in for 13 crore.

Jack Edwards and Salil Arora were also roped in for 3 crore and 1.5 crore respectively to strengthen their all-rounder and batting backups. A lot of new names and rising youngsters were given the trust card by Hyderabad, as Praful Hinge, Sakib Hussain, and Krains Fuletra were also roped in for their base prices of 30 lakh.

All in all, Sunrisers Hyderabad looks like a super batting-heavy team with experienced bowling options mainly lying with Pat Cummins himself, Eshan Malinga, Harshal Patel, and Jaydev Unadkat.

Given the number of new purchases they have made, they still managed their purse well with a 190.55 crore spend and 5.45 crore left, while filling out their full slot of minimum and maximum players.
