LSG IPL 2026 full schedule: Check dates, venues and home-away fixtures of Lucknow Super Giants

New Delhi: Lucknow Super Giants will launch their Indian Premier League 2026 quest on Wednesday, 1 April, when they host Delhi Capitals at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. The afternoon clash marks the franchise’s first competitive outing of the season and sets the tone for a campaign in which they hope to return to the playoffs after back-to-year absences.

Following the curtain-raiser at home, the Super Giants hit the road for consecutive away assignments: a trip to the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium to face Sunrisers Hyderabad and then east to the iconic Eden Gardens for a showdown with Kolkata Knight Riders. The quick shift from familiar conditions to hostile territory will test the squad’s depth and adaptability early in the tournament.

The forthcoming season carries added significance for the Rishabh Pant-led side, which finished a disappointing seventh in IPL 2025 with 12 points and missed the knockout stage for the second year running. Those results stand in stark contrast to the promise shown in the franchise’s first two seasons, when they secured third-place finishes. Management has since reinforced the roster, and expectations within the camp are running high for a deeper run this time around.

Because the Board of Control for Cricket in India released the full IPL 2026 calendar in two tranches—pending finalisation of state election dates—fans have been eager for a comprehensive look at where and when their team will play. Below is the Lucknow Super Giants schedule, listing each fixture, venue, and whether the match is a home or away engagement. All start times are in Indian Standard Time.

Lucknow Super Giants IPL 2026 Schedule 1 April, Wed – vs Delhi Capitals, Ekana Stadium, Lucknow, 15:30 (Home) 4 April, Sat – vs Sunrisers Hyderabad, Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad, 19:30 (Away) 7 April, Tue – vs Kolkata Knight Riders, Eden Gardens, Kolkata, 19:30 (Away)

(Additional fixtures will be released in the second phase of the schedule.)

With the early-season gauntlet laid out, the Super Giants know a fast start is imperative. Their loyal fan base will pack the Ekana stands for the opener before the team ventures into two of the league’s most intimidating venues. How they navigate this opening stretch could well determine whether the playoff drought ends at two seasons.
