Rajasthan Royals’ IPL 2026 schedule starts with a fixture against the Chennai Super Kings at the ACA Stadium in Guwahati on March 30.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), which determines the IPL fixtures each season, released a partial schedule for the first 20 matches on March 11 on account of the elections in the country. The remainder of the 2026 Indian Premier League schedule was revealed on March 26.
Inaugural champions Rajasthan Royals, who will be led by captain Riyan Parag in the upcoming season, will play their first three home matches of the IPL 2026 season at the ACA Stadium in Guwahati - their alternate home ground.
Royals’ remaining four home fixtures will be played at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.
Royals’ opening fixture against CSK will see the likes of Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran square off against their former team.
Rajasthan Royals will then travel to Ahmedabad for their second match, where they will face the Gujarat Titans on April 4 at the Narendra Modi Stadium. The clash against the Titans will be the Royals’ first away game of the season.
The Royals will return to Guwahati for their third and fourth matches of the season where they will take on the Mumbai Indians and reigning champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru on April 7 and 10, respectively.
With three of their opening four fixtures at home, RR will hope to build up some early momentum.
The venues for the IPL 2026 playoffs will be announced at a later date.
