GT IPL 2026 fixtures
Here are the confirmed GT fixtures available in the corpus.
| Match | Date | Time (IST) | Opponent | Venue |

| Match 1 | March 31 | 7:30 PM | Punjab Kings | IS Bindra Stadium, Mohali |
| Match 2 | April 4 | 7:30 PM | Rajasthan Royals | Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad |

GT’s confirmed opening run
Gujarat Titans open IPL 2026 against Punjab Kings on March 31, 7:30 PM IST, at IS Bindra Stadium, Mohali. GT’s second confirmed fixture is against Rajasthan Royals on April 4, 7:30 PM IST, at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. GT face Delhi Capitals on April 8, 7:30 PM IST, at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi, before GT play Lucknow Super Giants on April 12, 3:30 PM IST, at Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow.
That gives GT a compact opening stretch across four different venues, with only one home game in the first four. The early sequence also includes one afternoon start, so the first week and a half already asks for quick adjustment across timings and conditions.
Season outlook from the schedule
| What the schedule says | Why it matters | GT context |
|---|---|---|
| Four different venues in four matches | Early rhythm will depend on adaptation rather than venue familiarity | Mohali, Ahmedabad, Delhi and Lucknow are all in the opening run |
| One home game in the first four | GT get only one early outing at home | The Ahmedabad fixture is the second confirmed match |
| One afternoon start in the opening four | The side will need to switch between day and night conditions | The Lucknow game begins at 3:30 PM IST |
| Dates, venues and start times are all confirmed | The opening block is set, so preparation can be mapped clearly | The schedule corpus confirms the full IPL 2026 fixtures are out |
According to NDTV Sports, GT reached the Eliminator last season and lost to Mumbai Indians by 20 runs. NDTV Sports also says GT have played four IPL editions, made the playoffs in three, and reached the final twice.
Hindustan Times says GT are led by Shubman Gill in IPL 2026. The team preview corpus also says GT’s 2026 preview covers the full squad breakdown, stats, strengths, weaknesses, and season outlook, but any squad-specific detail beyond that is details are yet to be confirmed.
Quick take
GT’s first four fixtures are clearly mapped, and the schedule points to a team that will need to settle fast across different venues. With one home game, one afternoon start and three road trips in the opening block, the early focus is on handling the travel-and-timing mix.
The confirmed run does not tell us how the season will end, but it does show the shape of GT’s first test: adapt quickly, protect home advantage when it arrives, and manage the early stretch without any repeated venue comfort.
