BCCI Drops IPL 2026 Phase Two Fixtures With One Key Swap to Note

Fifty matches. Twelve venues. Four weeks. The BCCI has laid out the full second phase of IPL 2026, running from April 13 to May 24 with eight double-headers built into the schedule.
Afternoon games go at 3:30 PM IST, evenings at 7:30 PM. The phase opens in Hyderabad — SRH vs RR on April 13.
One change worth noting: the GT vs CSK match originally set for April 26 in Ahmedabad has been moved to Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium. Reason — Gujarat municipal elections that day. The reverse fixture on May 21 stays at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
Everything else proceeds as planned.
