Royal Challengers Bengaluru will start their IPL 2025 campaign on March 22, with an away fixture against Kolkata Knight Riders - Here’s RCB's full schedule, including venues and match timings.
The Challengers will be looking to push to the top after finishing fourth in IPL 2024 under the leadership of new captain Rajat Patidar and Andy Flower continuing as head coach.
RCB retained Virat Kohli, Patidar and Yash Dayal, and made some high-profile signings in the auction. Some of their new overseas stars include Liam Livingstone, who played for Punjab Kings last season, Phil Salt who has switched over from KKR, and the young gun Jacob Bethell looking to make his first appearance in the competition.
RCB have a taxing schedule, however, with their only set of back-to-back home games coming towards the very end of the league stage.
A new leader. A new chapter 🔴⚡
