The IPL 2026 transfer window lets teams overhaul squads by trading players, either for cash or through player swaps, ahead of the new season

Trades can be all-cash or player-for-player. For instance, MI bought Hardik Pandya back from GT in 2024 after he led them to a title in 2022

The first trade period runs 9 AM, June 10 (7 days post IPL 2025 finale) to 5 PM, 7 days before the IPL 2026 auction date
