IPL history
A season-by-season champions list is useful for IPL history and team context. It does not predict a fixture: fantasy decisions still depend on the selected players, roles and conditions.

Use the per-season table below as the canonical winners list. For a one-season answer (e.g. "IPL winner 2025" / "IPL champion list"), read the season row directly; treat older reports as history, not a current claim.
The table covers every completed season. Pair the year with the team and use it as fantasy context, not as a guarantee about the next match.
The list covers completed IPL seasons through 2026. The 2009 season was played in South Africa; all other entries are shown by the season's champion. The 2026 Final was won by Royal Challengers Bengaluru over Gujarat Titans by 5 wickets.

Champion history can frame questions about squad depth, pressure games and team combinations, but it should never replace player-level analysis. For fantasy cricket, move from team history to confirmed XI, batting position, bowling phases and contest format.

No. A record is context, not a prediction. Combine it with announced selection, current role, workload, venue and contest format.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru are listed as the 2025 champions in this historical reference. Confirm any future-season result against an official current source before publishing an update.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru also won the 2026 title, beating Gujarat Titans by 5 wickets in the Final at Ahmedabad on 31 May 2026. RCB's win was their second consecutive title after 2025.
Historical records are a starting point. Confirm the XI, map the role and choose a contest you can explain.
