IPL 2026 KKR VS DC Live Streaming: How to watch Kolkata vs Delhi clash live in US, Canada and UK - Preview, Start Time, Venue, Squads and qualification scenario

IPL 2026 KKR vs DC Today Match Live: With their playoff hopes hanging by a thread, the Kolkata Knight Riders will face the Delhi Capitals in the final league match of the IPL 2026 on Sunday, May 24, at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Axar Patel’s Delhi side has already been eliminated, but KKR remains mathematically alive in the race for the top four. Their qualification, however, hinges heavily on other results. A seven‑wicket victory by Punjab Kings over Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), in which they chased down a 197‑run target, has kept Ajinkya Rahane’s KKR in contention.

With Delhi out, KKR must secure a massive win over DC to surpass Punjab’s superior net run rate. Both teams will also be watching the earlier clash between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Rajasthan Royals (RR). A win for RR would take them to 16 points, sealing their playoff spot in the penultimate game of the league stage.

Despite an injury‑hit start that disrupted their bowling unit, KKR has staged a strong comeback. Six wins in their last seven matches have reignited Kolkata’s campaign and restored momentum heading into this decisive fixture.

KKR Qualification Scenario

Punjab’s win against LSG puts KKR in a strong position to qualify if RR lose to MI in their final game on Sunday. Their net run rate has jumped up to 0.309, which is well ahead of RR's 0.083.

For Kolkata Knight Riders, the task is clear: they must not only defeat Delhi Capitals, but win by a margin large enough to push their net run rate above Punjab Kings. To accomplish that, the Ajinkya Rahane-led side would need a victory of at least 77 runs if they post 200, according to ESPN. A total of 225 would lower the requirement slightly to 76 runs, while scoring 180 would raise the ask to 78.

If DC bat first and post 180, KKR would need to chase it down in 12 to 12.4 overs, depending on their final winning score. Should DC reach 200, KKR would have to complete the chase in 12.1 to 12.4 overs.
