Rajasthan Royals will be aiming to maintain their perfect record in IPL 2026 when they welcome defending Indian Premier League champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the ACA Stadium in Guwahati on Friday.

The RR vs RCB IPL 2026 match on April 10 will start at 7:30 PM Indian Standard Time (IST) and will be available to watch on live streaming and live telecast.

RR head into the clash with a 100 per cent record this season. The Royals brushed aside Chennai Super Kings in their opener at Guwahati, then edged past Gujarat Titans in a final-over thriller in Ahmedabad before overcoming five-time champions Mumbai Indians in their previous home outing.

RR captain Riyan Parag will be keen to make it three wins from three in Guwahati when they face RCB in their last home encounter of the season at the venue. The Royals will shift bases to the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur after the match.

Meanwhile, RCB also head into the fixture having won both their matches in the ongoing campaign. The Royal Challengers beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by six wickets in the season opener before registering a 43-run win over Chennai Super Kings in their second game.
