Rajasthan Royals IPL 2026 matches full schedule: Check out the list of fixtures for RR with match dates, venues and timings

Rajasthan Royals will head into the new season determined to revive the glory that defined their early years. Their wait for a second IPL title has stretched far too long. The inaugural champions stunned everyone in 2008 when they lifted the trophy under the inspirational leadership of Shane Warne, embracing the tag of underdogs and turning it into their greatest strength. Since that historic triumph, however, the franchise has struggled to add another title to its cabinet.

This season begins with a familiar opponent as they take on Chennai Super Kings, the very side they defeated in that memorable 2008 final. Much has changed since then. CSK have gone on to build a powerhouse legacy with five championships, while the Royals are still chasing that elusive second crown.

RR will head into the new season without Sanju Samson, who has been traded to CSK. In return, the franchise has strengthened its squad by bringing in Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran to bolster the all-rounder department. With the leadership spot open, Rajasthan have named Riyan Parag as captain for the upcoming campaign.

The BCCI announced the league stage schedule, with the playoff matches update to be unveiled later.

Rajasthan Royals will begin their IPL 2024 campaign with Guwahati serving as their base for the opening leg. During this phase, they are set to host Chennai Super Kings, Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The Royals will also head to Ahmedabad for an away fixture against Gujarat Titans.
