BCCI has released the full set of fixtures for the IPL 2026. The Chennai Super Kings will kick off their campaign against the Rajasthan Royals on March 30. As part of Group A, the CSK will face teams from their own group (KKR, RR, RCB, PBKS) once and teams from Group B (MI, SRH, GT, DC, LSG) twice.

CSK will face the Mumbai Indians in the first "El Clásico" of the season at the Wankhede Stadium on April before facing MI at their home in Chennai on May 2. CSK will face RCB just once in the group stage, with their only clash in Bengaluru on April 5.

Ruturaj Gaikwad-led team will finish their league campaign with three of their final four matches at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium (Chepauk), where home advantage could play a big role in the business end of the group stage matches.

Chennai Super Kings will play two afternoon games (3:30 PM) - one away at Ahmedabad and one at home against LSG.

After finishing tenth last season, the Chennai Super Kings will be eager to win a record 6th IPL title this year. The acquisition of Sanju Samson to go with the young stars in the team, like Ayush Mhatre and Dewald Brevis, will be the key to CSK's success this season.
