This clearance allows KSCA to stage Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s home games, starting with a blockbuster opener versus Sunrisers Hyderabad on March 28.

The nod followed detailed deliberations involving KSCA officials, RCB representatives, and a specialist committee that scrutinized venue security on March 13. Home Minister Dr. G Parameshwara, leading the meeting, endorsed the arrangements after a thorough report presentation. KSCA’s media statement highlighted the comprehensive compliance measures now in place.

RCB, fresh off their historic IPL 2025 victory—their first in 18 seasons—will feature in five matches at Chinnaswamy, relocating just two to Raipur. The previous title parade’s heartbreaking stampede, which resulted in 11 fatalities and numerous injuries, prompted unprecedented safety upgrades.

The schedule heats up quickly, with RCB facing CSK on April 5 at home. This approval not only revives the stadium’s IPL legacy but also reassures fans of enhanced protections. As the 19th IPL season dawns, Bengaluru’s passionate supporters gear up for a season of redemption and glory, with Chinnaswamy at the heart of the action.
