The schedule for the first phase of the tournament, which begins on March 28 and will feature 20 matches, is currently available, but fans are wondering when, where, and how they can purchase tickets for the tournament.
IPL 2026 Ticket Information -
At present, the BCCI has not shared any official information regarding tickets for the upcoming season of the tournament. However, a dedicated section for Indian Premier League tickets has been created on Zomato's District app. This section reads "Coming Soon." This suggests that ticket sales may begin soon.
Registrations for Matches Open -
BookMyShow has opened pre-sale registrations for tournament tickets. This pre-sale registration includes matches between the Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians. This includes matches to be held at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, and the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. While pre-registration does not guarantee tickets, it may provide an early opportunity to purchase tickets.
First Match in Bengaluru -
As per the schedule, the first match of the tournament will be played between the Royal Challengers Bangalore and Sunrisers Hyderabad in Bengaluru. However, it's worth noting that information regarding matches scheduled at Bengaluru's M. Chinnaswamy Stadium will be available on Friday, March 13th.
