gave BCCI has officially unveiled the schedule for the second phase of the Indian Premier League 2026, with matches confirmed from April 13 to May 24.The remaining fixtures of the league stage, consisting of 50 matches, will be held at 12 venues across India. These include Bengaluru, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Delhi, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Lucknow, Jaipur, Dharamsala, Raipur and New Chandigarh. Sunrisers Hyderabad will start the phase against Rajasthan Royals in Hyderabad. The revised plan comes after the board had initially released only the first 20 fixtures till April 12 due to the announcement of assembly election dates in states like Assam, West Bengal and Tamil Nadu. The rest of the schedule was finalized later, ensuring minimal disruption to the tournament. Despite concerns of a potential energy and fuel crisis affecting logistics or attendance, the tournament will go ahead as planned with no reduction in matches.
