Ahmedabad to Host IPL 2026 Final at Narendra Modi Stadium
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has confirmed that the IPL 2026 final will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on May 31. The announcement ends speculation around the venue for the tournament’s biggest match. Earlier, Bengaluru was expected to host the final, but the venue was changed due to operational and logistical reasons.
According to the revised playoff schedule, Qualifier 1 will take place in Dharamshala on May 26, while New Chandigarh will host the Eliminator and Qualifier 2. Ahmedabad will stage the final in front of a large crowd at the world’s biggest cricket stadium.
The Narendra Modi Stadium has become a regular venue for major cricket events in India. The stadium previously hosted IPL finals and ICC matches, making it one of the top choices for high-pressure games. Cricket fans are now waiting for the final phase of the tournament as teams continue their fight for playoff spots.
The decision has also sparked reactions from Bengaluru cricket supporters and the Karnataka State Cricket Association, which said it was prepared to host the matches. However, the BCCI decided to shift the games and confirmed Ahmedabad as the final venue.
