On November 11, 2026, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary responded to recent speculation that the Indian Premier League (IPL) would add two new franchises starting in 2028. The official stated there is "no scope" for such an expansion, effectively quashing the rumors.
The IPL, one of the world's most lucrative cricket leagues, has maintained a ten-team format since its last expansion. The BCCI's stance indicates the league's structure will remain unchanged for the foreseeable future.
