Where to Watch the RCB vs DC IPL 2026 Match?

Today is going to be a day of excitement at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium as the defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) take on the Delhi Capitals (DC) in Match 26 of the 2026 IPL Season. The RCB team comes into this match as the clear favorites with a 60.4% chance of winning, owing to their balanced team that includes Rajat Patidar as the star performer. Virat Kohli, who currently holds the Orange Cap, will be one to watch out for as he continues his impressive performance on his home ground. The bowling lineup of the RCB includes experienced Bhuvneshwar Kumar and quick bowler Josh Hazlewood.

Delhi Capitals, who have Axar Patel as their captain currently and KL Rahul leading from the front at the top, are keen on achieving consistency and gaining ground in the points table. Though they boast of a formidable middle-order attack comprising names such as David Miller and Tristan Stubbs, their bowling line-up, especially Kuldeep Yadav, will need to rediscover their form to contain the onslaught from RCB’s batsmen.
