    Ranji Trophy 2025-26

    The new season of the Ranji Trophy will begin on October 15. More than a month is left in the tournament with Vidarbha looking to defend the title this year. They won the 2024-25 season on the virtue of getting the first-innings lead against Kerala in the final. Talking about the tournament, the first division (Elite Group) and the second division (Plate Group) will start simultaneously.

    In the first division, 32 teams will be divided into four groups of eight teams each. Top two teams from all groups will qualify for the Quarter Finals, followed by the semis and the final. The tournament will be played in two phases. The first phase will begin on 15 Oct 2025 to 19 Nov 2025 while the second phase will be played between 22 Jan 2026 to 1 Feb 2026. 

    On the other hand, the knockouts will be played between 6 Feb 2025 to 28 Feb 2025. Talking about the Plate Group, it will be played in a single phase between 15 Oct to 19 Nov. The final will be played between 22 Jan to 26 Jan 2026. The winner of the Plate Group will replace the last finishing team in the Elite Group. 

    For those who are not aware, Elite Phase will be played in two phases to make space for One Day tournament (Vijay Hazare Trophy) and T20 tournament (Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy).
