It is that time of the year when the World’s biggest and greatest domestic T20 League starts. It is the Indian Premier League and the fans have already started feeling the fever and vibes. The initial reports were that IPL 2026 is set to begin on March 28 but with the schedule still not out there are plenty of questions around when it will start and fans of every team cannot wait for the schedule to see how the fixtures will play out. In this article we will cover when to expect the schedule and when the IPL 2026 will get kickstarted.
As per reports Indian Premier League 2026 is set to begin on March 28 as revealed before and the schedule for the first few days of the tournament is set to be released by Friday. So it is likely that IPL will release the schedule for the first few days of the tournament in this coming week and it is set to come out on Friday. The rest of the fixtures is expected to be released once the 2026 WT20 is completed. It is understood that due to the ongoing 2026 WT20 there has been a delay in announcing the schedule.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru won the 2025 IPL and won their first ever title. It is likely that they will be getting the first IPL game of the season in 2026 but nothing is officially confirmed and fans have to wait till Friday to find out the initial fixtures. It is safe to say by delaying the fixtures, IPL has got the fans eagerly waiting and the hype for the upcoming IPL has been good.
Another important thing which the fans are waiting on is on the home ground of defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru. As of now there are plenty of rumours but there is no solid evidence on where RCB will choose to play their home fixtures. So once the schedule is out things will be clear for the RCB fans. Rajasthan Royals also will be another team who might have a few of their home games in some other venue. So everything will get cleared once the fixtures for the tournament are out and fans are eagerly waiting.
