Board of Control for Cricket in India confirmed Bengaluru was initially set to host the IPL 2026 final but shifted it to Ahmedabad due to logistical and administrative issues. The match will now be held at Narendra Modi Stadium on May 31, with officials stressing the move ensures smooth operations and consistent venue standards.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has officially confirmed that Bengaluru was originally set to host the IPL 2026 final, but the venue was later shifted to Ahmedabad.
As per the revised decision, the title clash will now be played on May 31 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, while the earlier plan had placed the summit match at Bengaluru’s M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, home of defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
The BCCI clarified that Bengaluru lost hosting rights after certain requirements raised by the local association and authorities went beyond the board’s established guidelines, making it difficult to proceed with the original arrangement. Officials stated that the change was necessary to ensure smooth conduct of the tournament’s final phase and maintain uniform operational standards across venues.
Reports also suggest that broader logistical issues and administrative complications influenced the decision, with Ahmedabad emerging as the preferred alternative due to its proven infrastructure and experience in hosting major ICC and IPL knockout matches.
