RCB’s new home: Women’s Premier League matches are currently underway before IPL 2026 starts. At the same time T20 World Cup 2026 is going to start after that so all cricket players are busy playing international cricket matches. Royal Challengers Bangalore clinched the IPL 2025 title last year but since then the team has been in constant trouble. IPL 2026 may start in the last week of March.

Fans are already excited for this big tournament. All eyes are on defending champions Royal Challengers Bangalore. After years of waiting, they finally won the Indian Premier League title. Everyone hopes that they will see a bang in the next season as well. Earlier, there was bad news for RCB and Virat Kohli fans. Their home matches will be played in another city and not in Bengaluru.

Big shock for RCB and Virat Kohli fans

Ahead of IPL 2026, questions were being raised about RCB’s home fixtures. The Karnataka State Cricket Association had assured its fans that RCB’s matches would be held at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru with full security. However, RCB is in no mood to host their matches in Bengaluru. TOI reported that Navi Mumbai and Raipur could become RCB’s new home for IPL 2026.

Royal Challengers Bangalore will play five of their home matches in Navi Mumbai and two in Raipur. RCB officials have finalized the deal after meeting with the officials of DY Patil Stadium (Navi Mumbai) and Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh Stadium (Raipur). As a result, Navi Mumbai and Raipur will be RCB’s new home grounds instead of Bengaluru.

Not only RCB but also Rajasthan Royals matches will be shifted. Sawai Mansingh Stadium will not be RR’s home ground for IPL 2026. Some time ago, Maharashtra Cricket Association invited RCB and RR to play their IPL 2026 matches in Pune. It has also been reported that the matches of Rajasthan Royals will be held at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Gahunje, Pune. This is very disappointing news for Jaipur fans as well.
