Bengaluru's M. Chinnaswamy Stadium lost the hosting rights of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 final, scheduled on May 31, after a series of contentious demands and organisational concerns from local authorities and stakeholders.

The Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) on Wednesday expressed its "disappointment" after the IPL 2026 final was shifted from Bengaluru to Ahmedabad by the BCCI.

The Rahul Dravid and Anil Kumble Ends at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium were on Sunday officially unveiled at a touching ceremony attended by the stalwarts' family members.

The RCB vs SRH clash was the first big match held at the ground after the drastic incidents of June 4, 2025, when 11 lives were lost after a stampede due to thousands of fans gathering outside the ground to celebrate RCB's maiden IPL title win.

Bengaluru City Police have implemented new protocols for IPL 2026 at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, including digital-only ticketing and a multi-layered entry system to enhance crowd control and safety.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru CEO Rajesh Menon on Tuesday said the franchise has invested nearly Rs 7 crore to enhance the crowd management infrastructure in and around the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
