Where To Watch CSK Vs PBKS Live?: The sixth match of the 2026 season of the Indian Premier League will be between two teams with royalty in their title, but with very different legacies, as the Chennai Super Kings will take on the Punjab Kings in Match 7 of the competition. But when will this IPL 2026 match be played, where will it be played, and where can you watch it live? These, among some other questions, will be answered here.
The Chennai Super Kings are the joint-most successful team in the competition alongside the Mumbai Indians, with five titles under their belt. They won the league in 2010, 2011, 2018, 2021, and 2023. The 2025 season was the worst one in franchise history. Not only did they fail to make it to the playoffs, but they also finished 10th, at the bottom of the league.
On the other hand, the PBKS is one of only three teams in the IPL to have never won the league and one of two that have been here for the whole time. The Punjab Kings have, for much of their history, been a fodder team in the league, with a few playoff appearances under their belt. However, in 2025, they topped the league and made their way to the final, where they lost to the Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
Where To Watch CSK Vs PBKS Live
The CSK vs PBKS rivalry, rather than the two teams facing in crucial matches, is known for its absolute thrill. While the two teams have not faced off much in the playoffs, the matches they do play provide great excitement to the fans. On many occasions, the two teams have played high-scoring thrillers.
Despite very different legacies in this league, the head-to-head record of these two teams is dead even. Across the years, they have faced off against one another 32 times, out of which the Super Kings have won 16 times, and so has Punjab. Their two games in 2025 saw PBKS win on both occasions, the most recent of which was a four-wicket win for Punjab.
