CSK Match Tickets: When & how to buy for IPL 2026 first phase

CSK will play their first game of IPL 2026 on March 30 against the Rajasthan Royals.

The Indian Premier League (IPL 2026) will begin on March 28 and will entertain cricket fans with exciting matches for over two months. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has only announced the schedule for the first 20 matches so far.

In the tournament opener, defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will take on Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will start their stint on March 30 with the clash against Rajasthan Royals (RR) at ACA Stadium in Guwahati.

Super Kings will aim to win their sixth title in the upcoming season. The Men-in-Yellow failed to produce an impressive performance last season and failed to qualify for the playoffs. They finished in the last spot in the points table with just four victories out of 14 encounters.

Captain Ruturaj Gaikwad, who was ruled out of the tournament last season after the first five games due to an injury, will be back to captain the team in IPL 2026. Moreover, the franchise has also grabbed wicket-keeper batsman Sanju Samson into their squad through a trade deal with Rajasthan Royals (RR). CSK exchanged Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran for Samson.
