The first qualifier, to be played between the top two teams in the standings after 70 league-stage matches, will be played at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala.
The New International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh will host the Eliminator on May 27 as the third and fourth-placed teams lock horns. The same venue will also host the second qualifier, on May 29, where the loser of Qualifier 1 will face the winner of the Eliminator.
The final will be held at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on May 31.
“Owing to certain operational and logistical considerations, the TATA IPL 2026 Playoffs will be conducted across three venues this season as a special case. Bengaluru was originally designated to host the Final. However, owing to certain requirements from the local association and authorities that were beyond the scope of BCCI’s established guidelines and protocols, the venue has been shifted and reassigned,” the BCCI stated in a media release.
