RCB's 2026 IPL Home Venue Decision Pending Amid Chinnaswamy Safety Concerns

Following a fatal stampede during RCB's 2025 IPL celebrations at Bengaluru's Chinnaswamy Stadium, safety concerns have prompted discussions about relocating the team's 2026 home matches. While the Karnataka government has imposed conditions on hosting games at Chinnaswamy, alternative venues like Raipur's Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium and Pune's MCA Stadium have been considered. A final decision on the home venue is expected soon, with ongoing talks between RCB management, the Karnataka State Cricket Association, and state authorities.
