The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 auction will witness 350 players go under the hammer and this is a number finalised by the BCCI after detailed discussions with all ten franchises. The auction is scheduled to be held on December 16 in Abu Dhabi.

The board circulated a comprehensive list which has 1,355 names and asked the teams they wanted to go in the pool. Now the list has been shortened and it also features 35 additions, with one of the most notable being Quinton de Kock, whose name was not part of the initial draft.

There are several Sri Lankan players that have been added – Traveen Mathew, Binura Fernando, Kusal Perera, and Dunith Wellalage.
