IPL Winners List — Every Champion and Runner-up from 2008 to 2026

Nineteen seasons have produced eight different champions. Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians lead with five titles each; Kolkata Knight Riders have three and Royal Challengers Bengaluru have two. Gujarat Titans, Rajasthan Royals, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Deccan Chargers complete the winners list with one title apiece. Among the ten teams in the 2026 league, Delhi Capitals, Punjab Kings and Lucknow Super Giants have yet to win.

The table records the winning team, runner-up, final margin, venue and Player of the Season. The season award is not the same as Player of the Match in the final: it recognises a different achievement and can go to a player from another team. Names are preserved as they appeared in the relevant season, so Kings XI Punjab and Royal Challengers Bangalore appear in older rows.

Rajasthan Royals were the first champions, beating Chennai Super Kings by three wickets in 2008. Deccan Chargers won the second edition in Johannesburg; they no longer compete in the league, but their championship remains part of the history. Do not combine that title with Sunrisers Hyderabad's 2016 win as if the two names represented one franchise. The 2023 final has a DLS marker because its five-wicket result used a rain-adjusted target.

Chennai Super Kings built their five-title record across 2010, 2011, 2018, 2021 and 2023. Mumbai Indians matched that total with wins in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2020. The two teams account for ten of the nineteen completed seasons in this list. Equal trophy totals do not imply identical histories: their winning years and final opponents differ.

Kolkata Knight Riders sit next on the IPL champions list with victories in 2012, 2014 and 2024. RCB's titles came in 2025 and 2026. Rajasthan's 2008 success, Deccan's 2009 title, Hyderabad's 2016 victory and Gujarat's debut championship in 2022 make up the four one-title records.

The totals here count championships, not first-place league finishes, playoff appearances or individual player awards. Delhi Capitals, Punjab Kings and Lucknow Super Giants each have zero titles through 2026. That describes the championship record; it does not erase Delhi's 2020 final or Punjab's finals in 2014 and 2025. The team guide separates current franchises from historical names.

Three teams have retained the title in consecutive seasons. Chennai Super Kings did it first, winning in 2010 and 2011. Mumbai Indians followed with their 2019 and 2020 championships, and Royal Challengers Bengaluru joined them in 2025 and 2026. These are consecutive editions, not simply two titles close together.

RCB's sequence came after three earlier final defeats: against Deccan Chargers in 2009, Chennai in 2011 and Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2016. Their six-run victory over Punjab Kings in 2025 ended that wait. A five-wicket victory over Gujarat Titans in 2026 then turned a first championship into a successful defence.

Ahmedabad has hosted four finals in this period: 2022, 2023, 2025 and 2026, all at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Chennai has hosted three, in 2011, 2012 and 2024. The count is by city in the displayed results, with the precise stadium retained in the main table above.

Navi Mumbai, Kolkata, Bengaluru and Hyderabad each have two finals. Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium hosted the 2018 final. Navi Mumbai and Mumbai are listed separately here so that the two DY Patil finals are not silently combined with the Wankhede match.

Three finals took place outside India: Johannesburg in 2009 and Dubai in 2020 and 2021. Johannesburg's venue was the Wanderers; the Dubai finals were at Dubai International Stadium. The venue describes where the title was decided, not necessarily where every match in that season was played. Across these nine city entries, the final counts add up to all nineteen editions.

Sunil Narine appears three times in the Player of the Season column: 2012, 2018 and 2024. Shane Watson appears twice, in 2008 and 2013, and Andre Russell twice, in 2015 and 2019. These repeated individual honours are read directly from the season rows, rather than from the list of winning franchises.

Suryakumar Yadav was the 2025 Player of the Season and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi received the 2026 award. Neither the identity of the champion nor the final's Player of the Match can be used as a substitute for this column. A season award covers a different scope from a single knockout performance.
