The IPL 2026 final between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Gujarat Titans (GT) is scheduled to be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday, May 31. The highly anticipated match is set to begin at 7:30 PM IST. Both teams have won one IPL title each ahead of the upcoming clash.
The IMD has also warned of strong winds in parts of Ahmedabad district. Wind speeds could range between 50 and 60 km/h in isolated areas, with thunderstorms likely to accompany the changing weather conditions.
IPL Final Has Reserve Day And Extra Time To Counter Weather Disruptions
IPL officials have made it clear that their first priority is to complete the final on the scheduled day. To help achieve that, the IPL 2026 final has a two-hour extension window that can be used if rain or other weather interruptions affect play.
The tournament also has a backup plan in place, with June 1 serving as the official reserve day. A similar situation occurred during the IPL 2023 final, when rain forced the title clash between Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings to be moved to the reserve day.
RCB Would Be Crowned Champions If Rain Washes Out Both Days
Royal Challengers Bengaluru would be crowned IPL 2026 champions under this rule because they finished first in the league table, ahead of second-placed Gujarat Titans. RCB are the defending champions after winning their maiden IPL title last season, while Gujarat Titans won their only title in 2022.
