BCCI logistics team has informed franchises of the December 16 auction date and ITC Grand Goa venue via WhatsApp, with a briefing scheduled for December 15.
The IPL 2026 Player Auction is scheduled to be held on December 16 at ITC Grand Goa, with a pre-auction briefing planned for December 15. The BCCI logistics team reportedly informed all franchises of the tentative schedule and venue via WhatsApp to facilitate travel and delegation planning, though an official confirmation email has yet to be formally issued.
Franchises must submit their retained and released player lists by November 15, giving teams one month to prepare. The event marks the auction's return to India after three overseas editions. However, a potential scheduling clash exists as India is slated to play Sri Lanka in an ODI in Bengaluru on the same day.
