Venue Insights & Travel Notes for MI Fans
Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai (Home Ground)
The Wankhede Stadium is more than just a cricket ground — it’s the heartbeat of MI’s championship legacy. Situated in the heart of South Mumbai with a capacity of around 33,000, the Wankhede is famous for its intimate atmosphere, short square boundaries, and a crowd that can turn a 50-run chase into a thriller. MI have historically been incredibly strong here, and their two confirmed home games are must-attend events for fans in the city.
| Match | Date | Day | Opponent | Time (IST) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Match 2 | 29 March 2026 | Saturday | vs Kolkata Knight Riders | 7:30 PM |
| Match 20 | 12 April 2026 | Sunday | vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru | 7:30 PM |
Fan tip: Tickets for Wankhede generally sell out fast, especially for marquee clashes like MI vs RCB. Book via the IPL’s official BookMyShow listings early and plan for traffic around Marine Lines. The stadium is well-connected via Western Railway — Churchgate Station is the closest stop.
Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi (Away — 4 April)
The Arun Jaitley Stadium — formerly Feroz Shah Kotla — is one of India’s oldest cricket venues and seats around 41,000. This is an afternoon game (3:30 PM IST), which makes it slightly different from the typical evening IPL fixture. April heat in Delhi can be intense, so if you’re planning to attend, carry sunscreen and stay hydrated. The surface traditionally supports spinners as the match progresses, which could be an important factor for MI’s bowling plans.
Fan tip: Delhi Metro’s Pragati Maidan (Blue Line) is the nearest station. Book accommodations in Central or South Delhi for easy commuting to the ground.
Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati (Away — 7 April)
The ACA-VDCA Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati serves as Rajasthan Royals’ secondary home ground in 2026, and it’s one of IPL’s newer but fast-growing venues. Capacity sits around 40,000 and the crowd here is passionate and vocal. Guwahati’s weather in early April can be warm and humid, so the evening kick-off at 7:30 PM IST makes this a more comfortable fixture for both players and fans in attendance.
Fan tip: Lokapriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport serves most major Indian cities. Accommodation options are solid in the city centre near GS Road, putting you close to the action.
Key MI Matches to Watch in IPL 2026
With only four fixtures confirmed for Phase 1, every MI game is a big one, especially when viewed alongside how other franchises are shaping up in the IPL 2026 preview of all teams with squads and captains.
1. MI vs KKR — 29 March 2026 | Wankhede Stadium
There’s no better way to open a season than in front of your own fans at the Wankhede, and MI’s campaign kicks off in style against the three-time IPL champions Kolkata Knight Riders. This is MI’s first game of the season and the second match of IPL 2026 overall. KKR are a formidable opponent — they won the title in 2024 under Shreyas Iyer — and this fixture promises fireworks from the very first over. Expect a full house and a rocking Wankhede atmosphere as Hardik Pandya leads the Blue Army out for the first time this season.
2. DC vs MI — 4 April 2026 | Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi
Delhi Capitals have been building quietly, and the afternoon fixture on 4 April will test MI’s mettle away from home early in the season. Afternoon games at Kotla have a very different character from evening matches — the pitch behaviour can be unpredictable and the outfield is quicker under the afternoon sun. For MI, picking up an early away win here would be a statement of intent for the rest of the IPL 2026 fixtures campaign.
3. RR vs MI — 7 April 2026 | Barsapara Stadium, Guwahati
Rajasthan Royals have had several exciting seasons in recent years and Riyan Parag’s leadership has given them fresh energy. Playing in Guwahati adds a unique dynamic — it’s technically a neutral venue for both sides, making it a true 50-50 fixture on paper. This mid-week clash on a Tuesday could be a defining early-season moment for MI as they look to maintain momentum before returning home to the Wankhede.
4. MI vs RCB — 12 April 2026 | Wankhede Stadium ⭐ RIVALRY MATCH
If there’s one fixture that needs no introduction, it’s MI vs RCB. The Paltan vs the RCB faithful is one of Indian cricket’s greatest rivalries — passionate, intense, and always delivering drama. In 2026, RCB come in as defending champions, making this clash even more loaded with meaning. The Wankhede on a Sunday evening, with 33,000 MI fans roaring in blue and gold against a star-studded RCB side — this is Match 20 of IPL 2026 and arguably the most anticipated fixture of Phase 1. Set your alarms now.
