BCCI informs IPL franchises to prepare for auction on December 17

hellohimachalse@gmail.com 17 Oct 2026 1 hour ago

New Delhi: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has sought details from the IPL franchises regarding the size of their delegations for the proposed auction in Goa. The IPL 2027 auction is set to be held at a five-star hotel in Goa on December 17.

According to a Cricbuzz report, the development has emerged after the board’s logistics forwarded a WhatsApp message on Saturday, October 17. But an official email confirming the date and venue has not yet been sent to the team owners and chief executives.

“The IPL 2026 Player Auction will take place on December 16, 2026 at ITC Grand Goa and auction briefing will be held on December 15, 2026,” the BCCI WhatsApp notes as quoted by Cricbuzz. Multiple franchises have confirmed the same development after receiving the message from the BCCI, which asked for details of the size of each team’s delegation that is likely to attend the auction on December 16.

It has been clarified to the franchises in the message that it is intended solely to facilitate logistical arrangements and travel bookings for Goa. While the change in the auction date has not been ruled out, a formal communication is expected to be sent to the IPL franchise owners and CEOs in due course.
