Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will begin their IPL 2026 season on March 30 against Rajasthan Royals. Here is their full list of fixtures, match timings and venues.
The IPL governing council has so far only released fixtures for the first phase of IPL 2026 from March 28 to April 12, with CSK scheduled to play four games during the period - two home and two away matches. All four of them will be evening games, with a scheduled start time of 7.30 pm local time.
They begin their campaign against Rajasthan Royals in an away game in Guwahati, before welcoming IPL 2025 finalists Punjab Kings to Chepauk. CSK will then visit arch-rivals and defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru before a home game against Delhi Capitals to complete the first phase.
The five-time champions last won the title in 2023 and have since failed to make it past the league stage. They will be hoping to break that barrier this term, with a new-look, relatively younger side.
