Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), the defending champions, will face Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on the opening night of IPL 2026.
The season-opening game will be played on March 28 at Bengaluru's M Chinnaswamy Stadium, which was cleared by the Karnataka government recently to host IPL matches after uncertainty following the tragic loss of 11 lives in a stampede last June during RCB's IPL victory celebrations.
The matches at the Chinnaswamy, however, remain subject to clearance from an expert committee constituted by the Karnataka state government. "The committee will conduct a meeting and inspection of the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on March 13, 2026, during which a full-scale mock demonstration of match-day arrangements will be carried out to assess the stadium's preparedness for hosting IPL matches," an IPL release has said.
