DC Schedule IPL 2026: Full schedule and live streaming details

DC Schedule IPL 2026: Delhi Capitals start their IPL 2026 season on April 1 against Lucknow Super Giants at Ekana Stadium. The match begins at 7:30 PM IST and is important because they face former captain Rishabh Pant, who now leads Lucknow.

There is a big setback before the start. Mitchell Starc will miss the opening matches due to injury and has not joined the squad yet. His absence weakens the pace attack, so players like Lungi Ngidi and T Natarajan are expected to step in.

Another issue for the squad is the withdrawal of Ben Duckett, which affects the opening combination. Now the responsibility at the top will fall on KL Rahul, Pathum Nissanka, and Prithvi Shaw. There are also concerns about middle-order consistency and death bowling options.
