IPL 2026 Schedule, Results and Stats
The IPL 2026 season ran from 28 March to 31 May 2026, with 10 teams playing 74 matches: a 70-match league stage, then Qualifier 1, the Eliminator, Qualifier 2 and the final. Royal Challengers Bengaluru finished it as champions, beating Gujarat Titans by 5 wickets in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, a second title in a row. This page carries the complete season in one place: every fixture and result in date order, the final points table, and the season’s award winners.
The league stage could hardly have been tighter at the top. Bengaluru, Gujarat and Hyderabad all finished on 18 points and were separated only by net run rate, while Rajasthan Royals took the last playoff place on 16. The season also had its oddities: one match washed out without a result, one tie settled by a Super Over, and one result decided by the DLS method. All three are marked in the tables below.
