Known for its high-scoring contests, compact boundaries, and unmatched crowd energy, the Chinnaswamy Stadium remains one of the most vibrant venues in the IPL circuit. The stadium’s reputation for producing run-fests and last-over thrillers has made it a favourite among spectators and players alike.

Rajasthan Royals' safety concerns at Jaipur's SMS Stadium could lead to the franchise losing its home IPL games in 2026. An independent audit revealed significant safety lapses, prompting the Chief Minister's Office to call an urgent meeting with franchise officials to address the issue and find a resolution.

The Karnataka government has granted permission to Royal Challengers Bengaluru to play their home matches at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in IPL 2026. After the stampede on June 4, the ground was barred from hosting any matches as 11 people had lost their lives.

State elections in West Bengal, Tamil Nadu and Assam and the readiness of venues used for the ongoing T20 World Cup are the reasons behind the delayed announcement.

The clearance ended speculations about the home ground of defending Indian Premier League champion Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) for the upcoming edition.
