A major IPL venue is out of the final plans. Fans expected Chinnaswamy, but it was dropped at the last minute.
Due to local demands outside BCCI’s rules, the final venue was changed and reassigned.
The playoffs are now held in different cities, giving fans in many places a chance to see the knockouts.
Qualifier 1, between the top two teams, will be on May 26 at HPCA Stadium, Dharamshala. The winner goes straight to the final.
New Chandigarh will host the Eliminator on May 27 between the 3rd and 4th teams. Qualifier 2, also to be played at the same venue on May 29, will decide the second finalist.
The IPL 2026 final will be on May 31 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, the world’s largest cricket stadium, setting the stage for the grandest nights of the IPL.
After weeks of matches, it all ends in Ahmedabad. Who will handle the pressure and win the trophy?
