Apart from these two matches, the schedule of no other matches in IPL 2026 has changed. It’s worth noting that the BCCI previously released the full tournament schedule in two separate phases. The schedule was first released until April 12th. The remaining schedule was released after the dates for the assembly elections in Tamil Nadu, Assam, and Kerala were announced.

Looking at the points table so far in IPL 2026, Rajasthan Royals remain at the top after winning all four of their matches. Meanwhile, Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans are having a less than favorable season so far. CSK have managed just one win in four matches and are in ninth place in the points table. Gujarat currently sit fifth.
