The Indian Premier League 2026 season gets underway on March 28, and with franchises like Mumbai Indians, Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru consistently drawing packed houses, tickets are expected to sell out quickly across venues.
Here is everything fans need to know about how to buy tickets, where to find them, what they cost and when they go on sale.
Where to Buy IPL 2026 Tickets Online
Each of the ten IPL franchises has its own official ticketing partner for home games, and tickets must be purchased through the designated platform for the relevant team. There is no single unified portal for all IPL tickets this season.
| Platform | Franchises |

| District by Zomato | Delhi Capitals, Punjab Kings, Rajasthan Royals, Sunrisers Hyderabad |
| RCB Official Website/App | Royal Challengers Bengaluru |
| To Be Decided | Chennai Super Kings |
Royal Challengers Bengaluru are the only franchise selling tickets exclusively through their own official website and app. Tickets will not be available through any third-party platform for RCB home games at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. RCB have also confirmed that free metro rides will be provided on matchdays for ticket holders.
Chennai Super Kings have not yet finalised their ticketing arrangements for IPL 2026, though District by Zomato served as their official partner in IPL 2025. More details are expected to be released closer to their home match dates.
How to Buy Offline Tickets
For fans who prefer to buy tickets in person, offline tickets for home matches are available at the designated booking counters for each respective franchise. The specific counter locations vary by venue and team. Fans are advised to check their team’s official website or social media channels for updated information on counter locations and timings before heading out.

What to Keep in Mind Before Booking
Demand for IPL tickets has consistently outpaced supply in recent seasons, particularly for marquee fixtures involving Mumbai Indians, Chennai Super Kings, and Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Fans are advised to book as early as possible once tickets go live on their respective platforms.
For franchises that have not yet announced ticket sales, keeping an eye on official team websites and social media accounts is the most reliable way to stay updated. Some teams offer membership or early access programs that allow registered fans to purchase tickets before general availability opens, as seen with Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants this season.
The IPL 2026 season opens on March 28 with RCB hosting SRH, and the first away fixture involving KKR takes place the following day at Wankhede Stadium against Mumbai Indians. With the tournament set to run through to late May, fans attending later-stage matches will need to wait for the second half of the schedule to be confirmed before booking becomes possible.
