IPL teams list 2026: captains, coaches and home grounds
Use the directory to connect a team’s full name with its abbreviation, leadership and home venue. The information below describes the 2026 season in the supplied reference dossier, checked on 1 October 2026; it is not a claim that every role is unchanged today. A current club page can change after the season. Titles include the completed 2026 final.

LEADERSHIP DESK
IPL captains 2026
Rajat Patidar led the champions, Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Shubman Gill led runners-up Gujarat Titans and made 104 in Qualifier 2. Those two examples connect the captaincy directory with events in the playoff record, without turning the directory into an individual performance ranking.
Sunrisers Hyderabad need an extra note: Ishan Kishan captained their first seven matches before Pat Cummins. A single name would lose that distinction. The other listed captains are Ruturaj Gaikwad, Axar Patel, Ajinkya Rahane, Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya, Shreyas Iyer and Riyan Parag. The table records the season’s leadership rather than assigning captains from memory or from later transfer news.
Captain and head coach describe different responsibilities. Keep them in separate columns when comparing teams. A player appearing in a later squad does not establish who captained every match of the previous season.

THE LONG VIEW
Titles and finals by team
Championships through the 2026 final. The former Deccan Chargers won in 2009 and are covered in the historical winners list.
Chennai and Mumbai lead the current teams with five titles each. Kolkata have three, Bengaluru two, and Gujarat, Rajasthan and Hyderabad one each. Delhi, Punjab and Lucknow have no title in the record through 2026.
A final appearance is not the same as a title. Chennai reached ten finals and won five; Mumbai reached six and won five. Bengaluru’s five appearances comprise three defeats followed by the titles of 2025 and 2026. Gujarat and Hyderabad each have three appearances and one victory.
Punjab’s two finals include the 2014 appearance under the name Kings XI Punjab. Historical names remain visible in season records; changing a brand does not erase those results. The complete IPL winners list shows each year’s champion, runner-up, margin and venue so these totals can be traced to individual finals.
This chart intentionally measures only titles. It is not a form guide, a current ranking or a substitute for the IPL standings.
THE FIXTURE LOGIC
The two groups in 2026
Group A
CSKKKRPBKSRRRCB
Four opponents inside the group. Five opponents across it.
Group B
DCGTLSGMISRH
Four opponents inside the group. Five opponents across it.
4 × 1+5 × 2=14 matches
The groups arrange the schedule; they do not produce two separate points tables. Each team played its four group opponents once and the five teams in the other group twice. All ten sides were ranked together, and the top four entered the playoffs. This is why a group label should not be read as a qualification position. The format account for 2026 records 70 league games, followed by four playoff matches. Count each league match once: ten teams playing fourteen games gives 140 team appearances, or 70 matches.
AROUND THE GROUNDS
Home grounds and second venues
The principal grounds run from Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium and Mumbai’s Wankhede to Kolkata’s Eden Gardens and Lucknow’s Ekana Cricket Stadium. Delhi play at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Gujarat at Narendra Modi Stadium, Hyderabad at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Rajasthan at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Bengaluru at M. Chinnaswamy and Punjab at Mullanpur.
A team’s named home ground does not mean all its home fixtures happened there. The season dossier records three Punjab matches in Dharamshala, three Rajasthan matches in Guwahati and two Bengaluru matches in Raipur. Read the fixture’s venue rather than inferring a city from the team abbreviation.
Playoff venues form a separate itinerary: Dharamshala for Qualifier 1, Mullanpur for the Eliminator and Qualifier 2, then Ahmedabad for the final. The season schedule separates those stages from the league.
THE SEASON ROSTERS
IPL 2026 squads: players list by team
These season-specific rosters come from the official IPL team API, retrieved on 5 October 2026 with the 2026 season selected. They include replacement players recorded during the season, so a roster is not a claim that all listed players were registered simultaneously. Captain and wicketkeeper markers are the source’s labels.

A season filter matters because current club profiles can contain later staff or player changes. We checked that the source returns different Chennai squads for 2025 and 2026 and different competition identifiers, rather than simply repeating today’s team page. The 2026 captain flags match the captain directory above.
Roles describe the source’s classification; an all-rounder can contribute in both innings and a wicketkeeper can also be a major run-scorer. The overseas column identifies the roster flag, not who played in a particular match. A squad place is not proof of a match appearance. Use the match scorecard for a playing eleven.
Team colours used on this site
Abbreviation badges make tables easy to scan without reproducing official logos. Their primary and secondary colours come from the IPL website’s colour variables recorded in the supplied dossier. Text contrast takes priority over forcing a secondary colour into every badge: Chennai’s bright yellow needs dark lettering, while several dark backgrounds use white lettering.
Colour is never the only identifier. The abbreviation is visible, full team names appear in the directory, and numbers are printed beside chart bars. These colours are a navigational aid rather than a claim to represent any franchise. We have not independently compared them with every club’s brand guidelines.
How each team finished in 2026
RCB18 pointsLeague position 1 · 9 wins
Bengaluru topped the league on 18 points and won the title. Nine wins left them level with Gujarat and Hyderabad, so their superior +0.783 NRR decided first place. Rajat Patidar captained the championship side.
GT18 pointsLeague position 2 · 9 wins
Gujarat paired nine league wins with a run rate of +0.695 to finish second. That position brought a second route through the playoffs: after losing Qualifier 1, they won Qualifier 2. They then finished runners-up to Bengaluru.
SRH18 pointsLeague position 3 · 9 wins
Hyderabad were third on 18 points, behind Bengaluru and Gujarat on NRR. Their route began in the Eliminator, where Rajasthan knocked them out. The leadership note records Pat Cummins and Ishan Kishan’s seven opening matches separately.
RR16 pointsLeague position 4 · 8 wins
Rajasthan were fourth in the league and then won the Eliminator before losing Qualifier 2. Their Orange Cap winner Vaibhav Sooryavanshi made 776 runs across the season, a different measure from team points.
PBKS15 pointsLeague position 5 · 7 wins
Punjab missed the top four by one point. Their 15 points came from seven wins and one no result, while Rajasthan collected 16 from eight wins. Punjab’s better NRR could not bridge that points gap.
DC14 pointsLeague position 6 · 7 wins
Delhi ended on 14 points after seven wins and seven defeats. Their negative NRR did not place them below Kolkata, because Kolkata had one point fewer. Delhi’s 2020 final remains their sole appearance in the title match in this record.
KKR13 pointsLeague position 7 · 6 wins
Kolkata’s six wins, seven defeats and one no result produced 13 points. Their three titles belong to 2012, 2014 and 2024. Neither a past title nor an individual award changes the current table’s points calculation.
CSK12 pointsLeague position 8 · 6 wins
Chennai’s five titles and ten finals make their history very different from their 2026 league finish. Six wins brought 12 points and eighth place. The championship record is a career total for the team; it does not add points to a new campaign.
MI8 pointsLeague position 9 · 4 wins
Mumbai share the title lead with Chennai: five championships. Their 2026 season ended in ninth place with four wins. That is a useful reminder to keep historical success separate from the latest standings.
LSG8 pointsLeague position 10 · 4 wins
Lucknow finished tenth on eight points. Mumbai had the same number of wins and points, but a less negative net run rate. Lucknow have no title in the winners record through 2026.
League position is the starting point for the knockout stage, not the final championship classification. The 2026 playoff route shows how the same four qualifiers progressed after the table was complete.
