Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are set to embark on a journey of redemption as the BCCI announced the initial schedule for IPL 2026 on Wednesday. After a nightmare 2025 season where they finished at the bottom of the table, the five-time champions are determined to prove why they are the most consistent side in league history. With high-profile additions like Sanju Samson, the buzz around the “Yellow Army” is at an all-time high.

CSK will kick off their season on March 30 against Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati. This away fixture will be followed by their emotional homecoming at Chepauk on April 3, where they face Punjab Kings. The rivalry that stops the nation—CSK vs RCB—is scheduled for April 5 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, a match that is already expected to be a sell-out.
