Pune Expresses Interest In Hosting RCB’s Home Matches For IPL 2026, Confirms MCA Secretary

By IANS News November 12, 2025 • 16:12 PM View: 550

The Maharashtra Cricket Association: The Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) Stadium in Pune is in discussions with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) to host its IPL 2026 home matches for the upcoming season, confirmed secretary Adv. Kamlesh Pisal on Wednesday.

RCB’s trophy-winning celebrations in Bengaluru took a tragic turn on June 4, when a stampede at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium claimed 11 lives ahead of the victory celebrations. Following that tragic incident, the M Chinnaswamy Stadium hasn’t hosted a cricket game, and lost out on hosting the recently concluded 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup, including the final.

With uncertainty surrounding the venue hosting games in Bengaluru, Pune has now thrown its hat in the mix amongst other yet to be known venues to host RCB’s home games in IPL 2026.
