Note: The corpus contains a reporting discrepancy on the season format. ABP Live English reports a 74-match IPL 2026 season, while The Hindu reports 84 matches and 10 teams. This should be treated as a source discrepancy, not settled fact.
Note: The second-half schedule is yet to be announced, according to myKhel and BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia.
