The 2026 Indian Premier League (IPL) is seeing some of the best players in the men's game come together for the biggest domestic tournament in Twenty20 cricket.
With the playoffs edging closer, we have got a good idea of the sides we will be seeing battling across the knockout rounds.
You can see the latest Indian Premier League winner betting odds in the table below.
| IPL 2026 Winner | Odds |
|---|---|
| Royal Challengers Bangalore | 2.62 |
| Gujarat Titans | 4.00 |
| Sunrisers Hyderabad | 4.33 |
| Rajasthan Royals | 9.00 |
| Punjab Kings | 11.00 |
| Chennai Super Kings | 34.00 |
| Kolkata Knight Riders | 41.00 |
| Delhi Capitals | 101.00 |
Despite storming to the title in 2025, Royal Challengers Bangalore have got their work cut out for them this year in a packed out field.
RCB currently sit at the top of the betting and will have a shot in the Qualifier. Who they will face depends on the final round of matches. RCB face Sunrisers Hyderabad in a mouth-watering game while second placed Gujarat Titans take on Chennai Super Kings.
Behind the trio in the standings is a Punjab Kings outfit that finished at the top last season before losing to RCB in the grand final. They will have payback on their minds as they aim to go one better as they lift the trophy this season. However, they are in torrid form right now and are an outsider to finish in a playoff spot.
Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders have outside chances of making the playoffs, while Delhi Capitals are a long shot when it comes to winning the grand final.
The Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians are out of the betting after woeful runs this season.
With each side well and truly up and running in their 2026 IPL campaign, we are seeing the Gujarat Titans, Royal Challengers and Sunrisers Hyderabad sitting in the top three spots. Meanwhile, LSG and MI help to prop up the table.
Can RCB make it two title wins in as many attempts or will one of their competitors pip them to the trophy?
