Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will begin their Indian Premier League 2023 campaign by taking on Mumbai Indians in Bengaluru on April 2. Their second game will be against Kolkata Knight Riders in Kolkata four days later.
Four of RCB’s IPL 2023 games will be day games, which begin at 3:30 pm IST. Their last league game of the season will be against Gujarat Titans in Bengaluru on May 21. Following the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, the IPL will return to its home-and-away format from this season, with each team playing seven home games and as many away.
Bangalore are yet to win the IPL but have come close on a few occasions. RCB have been runners-up three times, the last of which was in 2016. They have, however, reached the playoffs in the last three seasons and will be keen to go all the way this time.
Former South African captain Fad du Plessis will lead RCB in IPL 2023.
