  IPL Auction 2026 Live Updates:No Right to Match in IPL 2026 Mini-Auction

  IPL Auction 2026 Live Updates: One key rule for the IPL 2026 mini-auction is that there is no Right to Match (RTM) card. This means if a team releases a player, it cannot automatically match the highest bid to bring him back. The only way to reclaim that player is to participate in the bidding and outbid everyone else.

  This change makes the auction more competitive. Teams must carefully decide which players to release, as rivals can drive up the price. If a franchise wants a former player back, it has to pay like every other bidder- sometimes even more.

  IPL Auction 2026 Live Updates: How Many Mini-Auctions Have Shaped IPL History?

  IPL Auction 2026 Live Updates: Since 2008, the IPL has held an auction every year. However, only six of those have been big, full-scale mega auctions in 2008, 2011, 2014, 2018, 2022, and 2025. All the other seasons used mini-auction, where teams make smaller changes, replacing or adjusting players rather than completely overhauling their squads.

  So far, 12 mini-auctions have taken place in IPL history. The upcoming event in Abu Dhabi on December 16, 2025, will be the 12th mini-auction. These mini-auctions have often been crucial for team strategy, which helps franchises like the Mumbai Indians, KKR, and RCb tweak their squads, manage budgets, and plan for the long term between the bigger mega-auction.
