The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 is scheduled to be played from March 28 to May 31. With assembly elections for the Indian states of Assam, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal set to be held during this period, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) initially did not announce the full list of fixtures and matches because conflicting security and logistical concerns about the election dates had not yet been settled. On March 11 the BCCI announced the schedule for the first phase of IPL 2026, to be played from March 28 to April 12.
