BCCI Sets Condition For RCB’s Return To Bengaluru In IPL 2026

The BCCI has allowed Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) to play IPL 2026 matches in Bengaluru, but only after the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium receives safety clearance from a Karnataka govt-appointed committee. The inspection follows a past stampede incident during celebrations. Authorities will review crowd-management plans before approving RCB’s games at the venue.
