The IPL has followed a split schedule in previous seasons as well, especially during election years. The BCCI has often adjusted its plans in such situations to ensure that matches run smoothly and that proper security arrangements are in place. Fans are eagerly waiting for the first set of fixtures to be announced.
The opening match is likely to take place at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, but their opponent for the season opener has not yet been finalized.
The overall timeline of the tournament remains largely the same. The IPL 2026 season is scheduled to conclude with the final on May 31 at the Bengaluru stadium.

The league has followed a similar approach in the past during election years, including in 2009, 2014, 2019 and 2024 when general elections were approaching.
