RCB to Relocate IPL 2026 Home Games from Bengaluru Due to Stadium Safety Concerns

The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will reportedly move their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 home games away from Bengaluru's M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. Citing safety concerns after a tragic stampede during victory celebrations last year that killed 11 fans, the Karnataka government has deemed the stadium unsafe. RCB is expected to host matches at Navi Mumbai's DY Patil Stadium and Raipur's Shaheen Veer Narayan Singh Stadium. This marks the first time RCB will play home matches at neutral venues in India, disappointing its large fan base.
