The next player auction of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is on the horizon.

All teams have revealed their list of retained and released players, which further reveals how many player slots they have left in their squad, as well as the purse they will carry with them to the auctions. 

While some franchises are walking in with barely any amount, others have a lot of cash to spare. So with that said, here is a look at the IPL 2026 auction purse and player slots for all franchises.

IPL 2026 Auction: Remaining Purse For All Teams

5-time IPL winners, Mumbai Indians are walking in with the least amount of money at the auctions, whereas 3-time champions, Kolkata Knight Riders will have the most.

• Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) - 64.3 Crore
• Chennai Super Kings (CSK) - 43.4 Crore
• Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) - 25.5 Crore
