RCB vs DC Live streaming details, when & how to watch Match 26 of IPL 2026

RCB vs DC, match 26, of IPL 2026 will be played at the M Chinnaswamy in Bengaluru on Saturday.

The 26th match of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 will see Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) take on Delhi Capitals (DC) at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on 18 April, with the game kicking off at 3:30 PM IST. The two teams come into this game on opposite runs of form.

RCB are flying high in second place on the points table, winning four out of their five matches so far. Their latest victory against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) really proved how much depth they have, especially with Rasikh Salam Dar destroying the LSG batting lineup with figures of 4/24.

Virat Kohli is still the man to beat, with 228 runs in five games. What’s even more impressive is his strike rate of 158.33, which is the highest he’s ever clocked in his IPL career. Alongside him, skipper Rajat Patidar has been a revelation, smashing 222 runs at a massive strike rate of 213.46 to lead the charge.

On the flip side, DC are struggling to find their feet. They’ve managed just four points from four games, and their only wins came against the Mumbai Indians (MI) and LSG, two teams who are also having a rough season. While KL Rahul has shown what he can do with a solid 92 against Gujarat Titans (GT), the rest of the DC batting order has been hit-or-miss.

The Chinnaswamy track is usually a paradise for batters, with the average first-innings score sitting at 167, though spinners usually come into play during the middle overs. RCB head into this one as clear favourites with the win probability on their side, and they’ve historically had the upper hand, winning 20 out of 33 head-to-head encounters.
