IPL 2026: LSG full schedule, match timings (IST), squad, venue details

LSG will start their IPL 2026 campaign at home against Delhi Capitals on April 1 in Lucknow. They then travel to Hyderabad to face Sunrisers Hyderabad, take on KKR, and return home to face GT.

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are gearing up for another Indian Premier League (IPL) season, aiming to challenge for the title in 2026.

 

LSG will start their IPL 2026 campaign at home against Delhi Capitals on April 1 in Lucknow. They then travel to Hyderabad to face Sunrisers Hyderabad, take on Kolkata Knight Riders, and return home to host Gujarat Titans, aiming to build consistency and challenge for the title.

 

Under the leadership of Rishabh Pant last season, expectations were high, but the team could not deliver consistently and failed to qualify for the playoffs. LSG ended IPL 2025 in seventh place, winning six of their 14 matches while losing eight.

 

 

One of the season’s highlights was the opening partnership of Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram, which consistently provided promising starts. However, the middle order struggled to maintain momentum, with key players like Rishabh Pant and David Miller failing to make a significant impact. On the bowling front, Ravi Bishnoi fell short of expectations, while Digvesh Rathi stepped up to take control. Injuries to pacers Avesh Khan and Mayank Yadav further weakened the bowling unit, leaving LSG short in crucial moments.
