Indian PremierLeague 2026
The biggest T20 league on the planet is back. IPL 2026 kicks off on March 28 at Bengaluru’s M. Chinnaswamy Stadium — with no opening ceremony as a tribute to the 11 fans who lost their lives in last year’s victory stampede. Here’s the complete match-by-match schedule across 65 days of cricket.
No Opening Ceremony — A Season of Tribute
BCCI has cancelled the IPL 2026 opening ceremony as a mark of respect for the 11 fans who died in the Chinnaswamy Stadium stampede during RCB’s IPL 2025 victory celebrations. Eleven seats at the stadium remain permanently vacant in their memory. A grand closing ceremony will be held at the Final instead.
