The Indian Premier League (IPL) will begin on March 28, 2026, with the final scheduled for May 31, according to a report by ESPNcricinfo. The tournament’s start date has been pushed back by two days from the initially proposed March 26 window. The IPL Governing Council is expected to meet soon to finalise the complete schedule and confirm venues. The delay in announcing fixtures is reportedly linked to upcoming assembly elections in multiple states. Further clarity is also awaited on the venue for the opening match and playoff games.
