List of RCB Matches For IPL 2025: Date, Time, Venue, Opponent, and Full Schedule

With a new skipper at the helm, RCB will be eager to break the jinx and win their maiden IPL title.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will embark on their IPL 2025 journey with a fresh start under the captaincy of Rajat Patidar. Their campaign begins with a high-stakes clash against reigning champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Eden Gardens, Kolkata on March 22.

Since the league’s inception in 2008, RCB has been chasing their first IPL title. With Patidar at the helm, they will be eager to turn their fortunes around this season.

Virat Kohli, Phil Salt, Rajat Patidar, Yash Dayal, Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma, Josh Hazlewood, Rasikh Dar, Suyash Sharma, Krunal Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Swapnil Singh, Tim David, Romario Shepherd, Nuwan Thushara, Manoj Bhandage, Jacob Bethell, Devdutt Padikkal, Swastik Chhikara, Lungi Ngidi, Abhinandan Singh, Mohit Rathee.

Exciting RCB Fixtures to Watch Out For

March 22: KKR vs RCB (Eden Gardens, Kolkata)

The first match of IPL 2025 and it’s a cracker! KKR will look to begin their title defence on a winning note while RCB, under new leader Rajat Patidar, will hope for a revised fortune and a win in the first match might just set the tone for the rest of the season. The return leg of this fixture is scheduled for May 17, the penultimate day for league-stage games.

March 28: CSK vs RCB (Chepauk Stadium, Chennai)

The much-anticipated CSK vs RCB clash is one of the marquee fixtures in the Indian Premier League and is scheduled within the first week of the tournament. While CSK holds a clear edge in terms of titles, the Southern Derby remains a fan-favorite, largely due to the star power of Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Virat Kohli.

CSK will be eager to settle scores when they host their regional rivals at Chepauk, as RCB had ended the five-time champions’ IPL 2024 playoff hopes in their last league-stage encounter in Bengaluru.

The second match between the two teams will be held in Bengaluru on May 3.

April 7: MI vs RCB (Wankhede, Mumbai)

This is expected to be a houseful game. However, this will be the only group-stage encounter between RCB and MI in IPL 2025. Over the years, the two teams have faced off 33 times, with Mumbai Indians holding the upper hand with 19 victories. Despite this, the contests have been fiercely competitive, delivering thrilling moments that both sets of fans have enjoyed.
