CSK ROAR 2026: Check live streaming details, list of events & more

The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are set to give fans an unforgettable evening at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk on Sunday, as the five-time champions host their inaugural ROAR 2026 fan event — a concept similar to the RCB Unbox event. While CSK began their pre-season preparations earlier, ROAR 2026 will officially present the full squad in front of a packed stadium.

The event will feature several franchise legends, including Suresh Raina, Matthew Hayden, Murali Vijay, Subramaniam Badrinath and Dwayne Bravo, who played key roles in CSK’s success over the years. The evening will also feature live performances by Oscar-winning composer A. R. Rahman and actor-singer Sivakarthikeyan.

Gates at Chepauk will open at 2 PM IST, setting the stage for a packed schedule of cricket and entertainment.
