The IPL 2026 Retentions are set to take place, with all ten franchises required to submit their final lists of retained and released players by November 15. Marquee players like Shardul Thakur and Sherfane Rutherford have already been traded to different teams. Sanju Samson and Ravindra Jadeja are rumored to be involved in a major trade, with CSK acquiring Samson from the Rajasthan Royals. The retention process, leading up to the mini auction on December 16 in Abu Dhabi, allows teams to retain players within certain rules. Teams can trade players even after announcing their retention lists until December 9. The IPL 2026 Retentions will be broadcast live on Star Sports Network and streamed on the JioHotstar app and website. The event is scheduled for Saturday, November 15, at 5 PM IST, following the conclusion of the India-South Africa Test match at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata. Fans can expect an exciting lineup of player retentions and releases as teams prepare for the upcoming season.
