The Phase I ticket sales for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup have gone live from 18.45 hours IST on 11 December, with prices starting at just INR 100 in India (approximately $1.11) and LKR 1000 in Sri Lanka (approximately $3.26).
More than 2 million tickets will go on sale in the first phase, with Phase II ticket sales set to be announced soon.
The low and affordable pricing for Phase I has been done to give cricket fans a fair and equitable opportunity to purchase tickets in the landmark 10th edition of the tournament, which will be co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka from February 7 to March 8.
The opening day of the T20 World Cup promises to be action-packed with Pakistan locking horns with Netherlands in Colombo, followed by matches between West Indies and Bangladesh in Kolkata, and India and the USA in Mumbai.
Speaking about affordability being the centre of the strategy, ICC CEO Sanjog Gupta said, “Phase I of ticket sales is an important milestone in our journey towards delivering the most accessible and global ICC event ever staged.
“Our vision for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 is clear: every fan, regardless of background, geography or financial means, should have the chance to access an in-stadia experience of world-class marquee cricket.
“With tickets starting from just ₹100 and LKR1000, we are putting affordability at the centre of our strategy. This is about opening the gates wide and inviting millions to be part of a global celebration of cricket, not as spectators from afar, but as active participants in the energy, emotion and magic that only a stadium can offer.”
The 2026 edition of the global tournament will feature 20 teams and 55 matches, commencing with group-stage encounters, followed by the knockout games.
Honorary Secretary of BCCI Devajit Saikia threw light on how the nominal prices will help fans create lifelong memories.
“With tickets starting as low as ₹100, the excitement around the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 is multiplied manifold,” he said.
“We are committed to creating a world-class match-day experience that reflects India’s passion for the sport, modern facilities, smooth logistics and stadiums buzzing with energy.”
The CEO of Sri Lanka Cricket Ashley de Silva is looking forward to the stadiums filled with the energy of cricket fans.
“We are extremely proud to co-host this prestigious event alongside India, and we eagerly look forward to welcoming fans from across the world to our stadiums,” he said.
“With Phase I of ticket sales now open, we encourage everyone to secure their seats early to ensure they don’t miss a single moment of the action.”
Matches will be played across eight stadiums in India and Sri Lanka – The Narendra Modi Stadium (Ahmedabad), MA Chidambaram Stadium (Chennai), Arun Jaitley Stadium (New Delhi), Wankhede Stadium (Mumbai), Eden Gardens (Kolkata), R. Premadasa Stadium (Colombo), Singhalese Sports Club Cricket Ground (Colombo) and Pallekele International Cricket Stadium (Kandy).
