Teams have started practising and running camps at partial capacities. Additionally, some franchises have revealed their highly-anticipated jerseys. Because of uncertainty about the home venues for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Rajasthan Royals (RR), along with potential election-related conflicts in certain cities, the BCCI had to postpone the announcement. The venue for the games will be decided based on the election dates across states in India, so that matches dont clash with the electoral process and both events can be carried out smoothly. Major state assembly elections are set to take place in West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Assam, Kerala, and Puducherry between March and May. As the Election Commission is still finalizing the polling dates for these regions, the BCCI cannot confirm the complete 84-match schedule yet. Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), as defending champions, will play the first game at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on March 28. Their opponent will be announced once the schedule is released. RCB ended their 18-year trophy drought and clinched their maiden IPL title in 2025, defeating Punjab Kings by six runs in the summit clash.
