The IPL 2026 playoffs are heating up, with Rajasthan Royals securing a spot after defeating Lucknow Super Giants. Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Gujarat Titans, and Sunrisers Hyderabad have also advanced, while Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants are out of the running. With one playoff spot remaining, Rajasthan Royals are in a strong position but must win their final game against Mumbai Indians to secure their spot. Punjab Kings are a threat with a chance to qualify if they win and RR loses. Kolkata Knight Riders still have two games to play, giving them a chance to reach 15 points. Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals have slim chances of qualifying, needing multiple results to go their way. Ultimately, the race for the final playoff spot may come down to a battle between RR, PBKS, and KKR, making for an exciting end to the IPL 2026 league stage.
