Will Chinnaswamy Stadium In Bengaluru Host IPL 2026 Opener?
While the IPL 2026 will start on Thursday, March 26, it will be interesting to see whether Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru will host the season opener or not. It was a point of interest among franchise representatives present at the pre-auction meeting held at the W Hotel in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday.
Traditionally, the opening match is hosted in the defending champions' city, but the availability of the Chinnaswamy Stadium is still unclear.
Although the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) has been granted conditional approval by the state government to stage IPL matches at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, the clearance hinges on fulfilling prescribed safety and security norms.

Bengal opening batter Abhimanyu Easwaran along with New Zealand pacer Ben Sears and South Africa's Ethan Bosch, are among the late additions made to the auction list for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. They are among 19 late additions to the final list that will be shared with IPL franchises ahead of Tuesday's auction at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi.
Mani Shankar Mura Singh (TCA), Virandeep Singh (Malaysia), Chama Milind (HYCA), KL Shrijith (KSCA), Eathan Bosch (South Africa), Chris Green (Australia), Swastik Chikara (UPCA), Rahul Raj Namala (CAU), Virat Singh (JSCA), Tripuresh Singh (MPCA), Kyle Verreynne (South Africa), Blessing Muzarabani (Zimbabwe), Ben Sears (New Zealand), Rajesh Mohanty (OCA), Swastik Samal (OCA), Saransh Jain (MPCA), Sooraj Sangaraju (ACA) and Tanmay Agarwal (HYCA) are the additional names added to the register.
The total number of players in the auction register has now gone up to 369 and a maximum of 77 players can be bought at the IPL 2026 mini-auction.
