How many times did RCB qualify for playoffs?
The Royal Challengers Bengaluru have long been one of the most followed franchises in the Indian Premier League. Known for their passionate fanbase and explosive lineups, RCB’s journey has been a rollercoaster of highs and lows. So Let’s take a look at How many times did RCB qualify for playoffs?.
With their qualification for the IPL 2025 playoffs, they have now made it to the top four an impressive 10 times in 18 seasons, a testament to their growing consistency despite never having lifted the trophy.
RCB first reached the playoffs in 2009, making it to the final but ended up as runners-up. They repeated that feat in 2010 and 2011, finishing as runners-up again in the latter.
After a few inconsistent years, they bounced back in 2015, and nearly clinched the title in 2016, falling just short once more.
How many times did RCB reach playoffs in IPL?
From 2020 to 2022, RCB qualified three consecutive times, showing renewed vigor under Virat Kohli and later Faf du Plessis. They returned to the playoffs in 2024, and with their 2025 entry, they now have a total of 10 playoff appearances: 2009, 2010, 2011, 2015, 2016, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2024, and 2025.
RCB’s road to the playoffs in IPL 2025
Under new skipper Rajat Patidar, RCB put together a commendable campaign in IPL 2025. They won 8 out of 12 matches and had one no-result, securing 17 points with a strong net run rate of +0.482, sitting second in the league stage with two more league stage games yet to play.
Their run included key victories over top teams like CSK, MI, and RR, with a string of four consecutive wins late in the tournament helping them clinch a playoff spot. One match against Kolkata Knight Riders was washed out, but it didn’t hurt their momentum. This performance signals a shift in RCB’s culture from star power to cohesive team execution.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru not just aim to maintain their winning momemtum but are also looking to finish inside top-two on the points table to give themselves an edge in playoffs and get a direct entry to finals with a strong show in qualifier 1.
