Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are gearing up for another Indian Premier League (IPL) season, aiming to challenge for the title in 2026.
LSG will start their IPL 2026 campaign at home against Delhi Capitals on April 1 in Lucknow. They then travel to Hyderabad to face Sunrisers Hyderabad, take on Kolkata Knight Riders, and return home to host Gujarat Titans, aiming to build consistency and challenge for the title.
Under the leadership of Rishabh Pant last season, expectations were high, but the team could not deliver consistently and failed to qualify for the playoffs. LSG ended IPL 2025 in seventh place, winning six of their 14 matches while losing eight.
