IPL 2026 Auction Likely To Be Held In Abu Dhabi Around December 15 Or 16: Sources
The Royal Challengers Bengaluru: The player auction for Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 is likely to be held in Abu Dhabi, with December 16 emerging as the most likely date for the proceedings to take place, sources told IANS.
Initially, December 14 was earmarked as the preferred date, which was the date franchises gave to the Governing Council (GC). But sources familiar with the matter told IANS on Monday that either December 15 or 16 has emerged as the date for the auction to happen. The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) won IPL 2025, which was also their maiden title victory in their time in the tournament since its inception in 2008.
The last two IPL auctions were staged overseas in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This time, the UAE’s capital Abu Dhabi will host the 10 franchises as they look to plug gaps in their respective squads ahead of the next season.
