What this opening block looks like
The opening phase of KKR's IPL 2026 schedule runs from March 29 to April 9, and the shape is simple: one away match, then three home matches. Every listed fixture is set for 7:30 PM IST, so the timing stays consistent across the early block.
The main feature is the venue switch after Mumbai. KKR leave for Wankhede first, then settle into an early Eden Gardens run against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Punjab Kings and Lucknow Super Giants.
KKR’s early run in context
This confirmed block is compact and easy to scan on mobile. The dates are spaced out enough to keep the schedule readable, but the pattern is still clear: away first, then a steady home stretch in Kolkata.
The schedule data provided in the corpus includes only these four KKR matches, so this guide stays strictly within the verified fixtures. That keeps the focus on the confirmed dates, start times, opponents and venues only.
