Where To Watch CSK Vs KKR: The sixth match of the 2026 season of the Indian Premier League will be a ‘rivalry-week’ match between two teams that are not only two of the most successful teams in league history, but two that also have a deep history, as the Chennai Super Kings will take on the Kolkata Knight Riders in Match 22 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.

The Super Kings have been the worst-performing team in the IPL so far and the only one with no points on the board. They were thrashed in their opening game by the Rajasthan Royals and were dominated by the Punjab Kings in their second game. Their next game saw them be thoroughly defeated by the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Finally, they won their first match in their most recent game against the Delhi Capitals.
Meanwhile, the Kolkata Knight Riders have had vast success in the IPL. They have lifted the trophy on three occasions, in 2012, 2014, and as recently as 2024, where they defeated CSK in the final. The Knight Riders had quite a disappointing season in 2025, as they finished eighth on the points table, missing out on the playoffs by a mile.
They have started this season off in disastrous fashion. In the two games the Knight Riders have played, they have been thoroughly beaten by the Mumbai Indians, before being ravaged by the Sunrisers Hyderabad. Their third game against the Punjab Kings was washed out. Most recently, they lost one to the Lucknow Super Giants.
CSK VS KKR Rivalry History
The CSK Vs KKR rivalry is one of the most storied in the Indian Premier League. Not only have these two teams played some classics throughout the years, but these two teams also have the rare pleasure of playing against one another in two finals. In 2012, KKR won their first title by defeating the Super Kings in the final. Nine years later, in 2021, CSK returned the favour by defeating the Knight Riders in the final to win their fourth.
The head-to-head record for Chennai Super Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders is very one-sided. The two have faced one another on 32 occasions. Out of these, the Super Kings have won 20 games, while Kolkata has only been triumphant 11 times. One of their games in 2009 was washed out. Their two games in 2025 saw CSK win one by 44 runs, whereas KKR won the other by eight wickets.
