RCB Shifts IPL 2026 Home Games from Chinnaswamy After Tragedy; Navi Mumbai, Raipur New Venues

• Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will not play their IPL 2026 home games at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
• The franchise will host home matches at Navi Mumbai’s DY Patil Stadium and Shaheen Veer Narayan Singh Stadium in Raipur.
• This decision follows a tragic stampede during RCB's victory celebrations last year, which led the Karnataka government to declare Chinnaswamy Stadium unsafe.
• Five of RCB's seven home matches will be in Navi Mumbai, with the remaining two in Raipur.
• Rajasthan Royals have also reportedly moved their home matches to Pune due to issues with the Rajasthan Cricket Association.
