this BCCI The second phase schedule of the 2026 Indian Premier League has been officially announced, confirming the schedule from April 13 to May 24.The remaining league phase consists of 50 matches and will be played at 12 venues in India. These include Bengaluru, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Delhi, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Lucknow, Jaipur, Dharamshala, Raipur and New Chandigarh. The phase begins with Sunrisers Hyderabad taking on Rajasthan Royals. The revised plan comes after the board initially released only the first 20-match schedule up to April 12 as the dates for the assembly elections in states like Assam, West Bengal and Tamil Nadu have been announced. The remaining fixtures were then finalized to ensure minimal disruption to competition. Despite concerns that a potential energy and fuel crisis would impact logistics or attendance, the event will go ahead as planned with no reduction in the number of games.
