The dual-venue strategy provides RR with different pitch conditions, Jaipur’s traditional surfaces and Guwahati’s relatively newer stadium environment, testing the team’s adaptability even during home fixtures.
RR Away Matches in IPL 2026
Away fixtures test Rajasthan Royals’ versatility as they navigate different venues, pitch conditions, and opposition-friendly atmospheres across India. RR’s away schedule includes eight matches at various iconic cricket stadiums.

The season finale at Mohali on 23 May against Punjab Kings could carry playoff qualification implications, making this away fixture potentially decisive for RR’s tournament hopes.
RR Match Timings – Afternoon vs Evening Games
Rajasthan Royals’ IPL 2026 schedule includes matches in both afternoon and evening time slots, accommodating different viewing preferences and playing conditions.
Evening Matches (7:30 PM IST)
The majority of RR’s fixtures—10 out of 14 matches—are scheduled for the prime-time evening slot at 7:30 PM IST. This timing suits fans watching after work hours and provides cooler temperatures during India’s summer season.
All four of RR’s home matches in Jaipur occur in the evening slot, maximizing fan attendance and creating favorable playing conditions. Evening matches at Sawai Mansingh Stadium create a vibrant atmosphere with passionate local support.
Afternoon Matches (3:30 PM IST)
RR has four afternoon fixtures at 3:30 PM IST:
- 12 April (Sunday) – Home vs PBKS in Guwahati
- 19 April (Sunday) – Away vs GT in Ahmedabad
- 26 April (Sunday) – Away vs RCB in Bengaluru
- 23 May (Saturday) – Away vs PBKS in Mohali
Three of the four afternoon matches are away fixtures, meaning RR must handle daytime cricket challenges at opponent venues. The only home afternoon match occurs in Guwahati on 12 April against Punjab Kings.
Afternoon matches present physical challenges with higher temperatures and direct sunlight, requiring strong fitness and hydration management. The absence of dew in afternoon games creates more consistent pitch behavior throughout both innings.
