The defending champions, Royal Challenger Bengaluru, have announced that the tickets for their season opener against Sunrisers Hyderabad will go live today (March 24). The Bengaluru-based franchise posted an update on their social media account to the delight of the fans.

IPL 2026 will start at Bengaluru’s M.Chinnaswamy Stadium with the inaugural match between RCB and SRH. RCB will play 5 matches at their traditional home stadium before playing 2 matches at Raipur. 

After playing SRH, RCB will host CSK at home on April 5, but the tickets for that blockbuster match aren't out yet.

RCB posted an update on their Twitter account announcing that the tickets for the match against SRH will be sold today; however, there was no mention of the time, which will be updated later. The tickets for the CSK match are yet to be announced.

"Tickets will be available only through the official RCB website and app. Do not fall prey to fraudulent websites claiming to sell RCB tickets," RCB said.
