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

PBKS will play their first game of IPL 2026 on March 31 against the Gujarat Titans.

The Indian Premier League (IPL 2026) first phase will begin on March 28 and will see exciting matches between 10 teams for the title. Due to the assembly elections in three states, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has revealed the schedule for the first 20 matches so far.

In the opening game of IPL 2026 on March 28, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will take on Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Punjab Kings (PBKS) will commence their stint on March 31 with the encounter against the Gujarat Titans (GT) at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh.

Shreyas Iyer will captain PBKS in the upcoming season. Under his captaincy, the team performed brilliantly in the last season and finished as runners-up. They finished in the top spot in the points table after the league stage but lost the final against RCB by a close margin.

Last year, Punjab Kings changed their fortunes by reaching the playoffs after 10 seasons. Now, they will aim for another brilliant show and grab their first title in IPL 2026.
