In June 2026, BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia revealed a different aim: start around 10 March and wrap up by 15 May, clear of more extreme heat and pre-monsoon weather.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor now, 10 March to 15 May is the useful guide.

Both teams get one innings and, wickets permitting, 20 overs. No bowler can take more than four of them. The larger score wins, with a Super Over available when the two totals finish level.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe path to the final was less obvious. IPL 2026 split 70 league fixtures across the field, leaving every club with 14 chances to collect points. The groups organised who played whom, but did not create separate tables.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat setup was not a full home-and-away round robin. Some pairs met once, others twice. A victory still paid two points, and net run rate separated clubs when their totals matched.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnly four survived the cut.

Each side also nominates possible replacements, and one of them may enter as the Impact Player. Unlike an ordinary substitute fielder, he can bat or bowl.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat extra move can stretch the batting order or strengthen the attack. A specialist batter can do his work first, then make way for a bowler.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne brake remains. No team may use more than four overseas players, so the replacement must fit that limit. The rule is due back in 2027, subject to final playing conditions.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA substitute is therefore relevant to player betting, while a starter may leave the action halfway through.
