Where To Watch LSG Vs DC Live?: The second match of the 2026 season of the Indian Premier League will be between two teams that are yet to win the league, as the Lucknow Super Giants will take on the Delhi Capitals in Match 5 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.
LSG was part of the IPL expansion in 2022, introduced to the tournament alongside the Gujarat Titans. And while GT overshadowed the Super Giants after winning their first season in the league, Lucknow has found some success too, making it to the playoffs in two out of their four seasons. Last season was a forgettable one for them, as they finished seventh.
On the other hand, the DC have been here since day one, but have changed their name along the way. While they have made the playoffs on a few occasions, and even played the final in 2020, the team from the national capital has been a middle-of-the-road side for their entire history in the IPL. Last season, despite showing a lot of promise, Delhi failed to make it to the playoffs, finishing fifth.
Where To Watch LSG Vs DC Live
The LSG vs DC rivalry didn’t really exist for the first few years. They were just two teams looking to win the league for the first time. However, before IPL 2025, Capitals captain Rishabh Pant moved to LSG, and the games between the two teams became more fiery. The two teams have recently been having very competitive and exciting games.
The head-to-head record between the two teams is fairly one-sided. On the seven occasions they have faced each other, DC has won four times, while LSG has triumphed thrice. In their two games in 2025, DC won both. While one was a one-sided victory, the other was a high-scoring thriller.
Rishabh Pant will lead LSG in this game, and this is their probable playing XI with the impact player –
Aiden Markram, Mitchell Marsh, Nicholas Pooran, Ayush Badoni, Rishabh Pant (C) (wk), Jodh Inglis, Abdul Samad, Shahbaz Ahmad, Mohammad Shami, Avesh Khan, Digvesh Rathi, Mayank Yadav*
On the other hand, the DC will be captained by Axar Patel. Here is their probable playing XI with the impact player.
KL Rahul (wk), Abhishek Porel, Nitish Rana, Tristan Stubbs, David Miller, Axar Patel (C), Ashutosh Sharma, Vipraj Nigam, Kuldeep Yadav, Lungi Ngidi, Dushmantha Chameera, Mukesh Kumar*
This LSG vs DC Match 5 of IPL 2026 will be played on Wednesday, April 1, at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. The match will commence at 7:30 PM.
This match, like all IPL matches this season, can be watched live in India on the Star Sports Network on TV. It will be live-streamed on the JioHotstar app and website on mobiles, laptops, and other streaming devices.
