There is intense discussion regarding the schedule of IPL 2026. Earlier it was being said that the schedule of the upcoming season of the league would be released before the closing ceremony on the day of the T20 World Cup final i.e. last Sunday (08), but this could not happen. Now Devjit Saikia, Secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India i.e. BCCI, shared a big update regarding the schedule. He told on which date the schedule will be released. Apart from this, he also told a big twist.

Speaking to news agency IANS, BCCI Secretary said, “We are planning to release the schedule of IPL 2026 by March 12. For now, we will release the schedule for the first 20 days.”

In some reports that came out earlier, it was said that the schedule will be released in two phases. It was told that the IPL Governing Council has cleared the schedule of the first half. However, at present only the schedule for the first 20 days will be released.
