IPL 2026 Auction: Live List of Players SOLD and UNSOLD

The much-anticipated Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 auction is underway in Abu Dhabi. Following the retentions and trades, the 10 franchises of the T20 league, Mumbai Indians (MI), Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), Gujarat Titans (GT), Rajasthan Royals (RR), Punjab Kings (PBKS), Delhi Capitals (DC), and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), are engaging in fierce bidding wars to acquire their target players. Fans will get live updates of the IPL 2026 auction here.

Initially, a total of 1,390 players had registered their names for the event. But only 369 cricketers have been shortlisted to go under the gavel for the upcoming edition of the cash-rich league. The three-time IPL champions, KKR, will enter the bidding hall with the maximum budget of INR 64.30 crore. CSK, one of the most successful teams in the tournament’s history, are also set to compete hard with the Knights with their second-highest purse of INR 43.40 crore.

On the other hand, five-time winners MI (INR 2.75 crore) and IPL 2025 runners-up PBKS (11.50 crore) will have the least work on the auction table. They have retained almost their entire core for the IPL 2026 and will need to fill only five and four slots, respectively.
