BCCI has confirmed that the IPL 2026 playoff schedule, including all knockout matches, will be finalised and announced within the next two days.
The full schedule will cover Qualifier 1, Eliminator, Qualifier 2 and the final, along with dates and venues yet to be officially revealed.
BCCI has not confirmed venues for the playoff matches, keeping fans waiting as speculation continues around which cities will host games.
RCB are defending champions, but it remains unclear if Chinnaswamy Stadium will host the IPL 2026 final as per the usual trend.
The schedule was earlier released in phases due to election dates, which also delayed clarity on playoff venues and final arrangements.
BCCI is taking extra care with venue decisions to avoid any issues and ensure smooth conduct of matches during the crucial playoff stage.
All key details, including playoff dates and venues, will be revealed shortly, giving a clear picture of IPL 2026 knockout stage.
