The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has decided not to have an opening ceremony for the Indian Premier League 2026. The tournament will start on March 28. In the first match, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will play against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
