Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will reportedly not play their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 home matches at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru due to safety concerns following a fatal stampede during a victory parade last year. Instead, RCB is set to host five matches at Navi Mumbai's DY Patil Stadium and two at Raipur's Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh Stadium. The stadium has been deemed unsafe for large gatherings by a judicial commission, leading to the denial of permission for recent domestic matches.
