RCB MATCHES OF 2026 IPL IN CHINNASWAMY

RCB IPL 2026 Matches to be Held at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru

The excitement among Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) fans is already building up as the 2026 Indian Premier League (IPL) season approaches. After the unfortunate stampede incident at Chinnaswamy Stadium following RCB's 2025 victory celebrations, there were widespread concerns about whether future matches would continue in Bengaluru. Many speculated that IPL matches might be shifted to alternate venues for safety reasons. However, recent statements from Karnataka's Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar have put all such speculations to rest.

Deputy CM Shivakumar confirmed that all RCB home matches in IPL 2026 will continue to be held at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. He emphasized that the stadium is not just a venue but a matter of pride for Bengaluru and Karnataka. He assured fans and stakeholders that the state government is committed to retaining Chinnaswamy as the home ground for RCB, while implementing enhanced safety and crowd-management measures to prevent any repeat of past incidents.

In addition to reinforcing safety protocols, the Karnataka government is also planning for a long-term solution by proposing the construction of a larger stadium. This new facility will aim to better accommodate the growing number of cricket fans, ensuring both safety and a memorable match-day experience. For now, however, Chinnaswamy remains the iconic heart of Bengaluru cricket, where fans can continue to cheer for RCB on home turf.

The decision has been widely welcomed by fans, as it ensures continuity for the team while promising stricter safety oversight. RCB supporters can look forward to experiencing the electrifying atmosphere of Chinnaswamy Stadium during the 2026 IPL season, without worrying about venue changes. This reaffirmation not only strengthens Bengaluru's status as a premier cricketing hub but also reflects the government’s commitment to maintaining the city’s sporting legacy.

With the combination of home-ground advantage, upgraded safety measures, and plans for future infrastructure improvements, 2026 looks set to be an exciting year for RCB and its passionate fanbase. Chinnaswamy will once again witness the cheers, the celebrations, and the unforgettable moments that define IPL cricket in Bengaluru.
