Indian Premier League
The completed 19th IPL season: 70 league matches, four playoffs and a second consecutive title for Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
Season guide
Competition overview
The 2026 Indian Premier League ran from 28 March to 31 May. The BCCI released the 70-match league schedule in two phases because state-election dates were still being finalized when the first 20 fixtures were announced.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Gujarat Titans, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals finished in the top four. RCB ended the league stage first on net run rate and then beat Gujarat Titans in the Ahmedabad final to retain the title.
The schedule below combines the two official IPL fixture documents with the separate playoff advisory. The table is the final league-stage table; playoff results do not change league points or net run rate.
