Lucknow Super Giants will begin their IPL 2026 campaign with a home match against Delhi Capitals in Lucknow. As per the reportedly confirmed schedule of the first phase, the team will travel to face Sunrisers Hyderabad after the opening game.

Lucknow Super Giants had an average IPL 2025 season. The team had a good start to the tournament, but the team’s performance declined in the second half of the tournament. The performance of the team’s captain, Rishabh Pant, was a major concern for the team. Although the team’s batting department had good firepower, the bowling department could not make any impact. 

For the IPL 2026 season, the team has made some key changes to their team ahead of the new season. LSG has released Ravi Bishnoi, despite having shown strong faith in him, as Digvesh Rathi has been found to be a promising player. The team also parted ways with David Miller and Akash Deep while keeping most of their core players. LSG added experienced pacer Mohammed Shami from Sunrisers Hyderabad for Rs 10 crore and signed Arjun Tendulkar from Mumbai Indians for Rs 30 lakh.
