After the news that the Royal Challengers Bangalore franchise is ready to sell, another big news is coming regarding the franchise.
RCB have signed a new sponsorship deal with London-based tech company Nothing for the upcoming IPL season.

The partnership comes after Qatar Airways exited as the jersey sponsor of the Bengaluru-based team, and Nothing will take its place on the team’s jersey.

According to reports, smartphone company Nothing has replaced Qatar Airways as the RCB sponsor. The airline had previously partnered with the team for two years, from 2023 to 2025, and the deal was worth ₹275 crore. According to reports, Nothing has decided to partner with RCB with an aim to expand its presence in India.

Apart from this, the franchise may have to face another problem now, following the stampede in Bengaluru, RCB may have to find a new home in IPL 2026, as the M Chinnaswamy Stadium has been declared unsafe to host big events. Bengaluru was ruled out as a venue for the Women’s World Cup 2025 and has also not been shortlisted for the T20 World Cup 2026. Instead, Pune has offered to host RCB’s home matches in the upcoming season.
