IPL 2026 Fan Parks List: Schedule, Dates, Timings, Entry Fee & Host Cities - All You Need To Know

IPL 2026: The Indian Premier League (IPL) is set to return with the 19th season this week, and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is set to provide fans from across several cities an opportunity to enjoy a match-day like atmosphere for the opening matches (schedule released till April 12) by organising IPL Fan Parks.

Continuing the commitment to take the IPL beyond the stadium amid the fans, the BCCI will host the Fan Parks across 15 cities in 11 states during the first three weeks. These fan parks will allow the fans to experience the excitement of live IPL matches in a vibrant, community-driven environment.

The Fan Parks will be held over three weekends:

• Week 1: March 28 & 29, 2026
• Week 2: April 4 & 5, 2026
• Week 3: April 11 & 12, 2026

Each weekend will feature five Fan Parks across different zones: North, South, East, and West. This will ensure that there is widespread coverage of cricket across regional representation.

How Much Does The Ticket Cost For Entry To The IPL Fan Park?

IPL Fan Park entry is completely free for fans. There are no ticket charges, registration costs, or bookings required. Spectators can simply walk in and be part of the experience. This has made Fan Parks one of the most popular free attractions during the cricket season in India.

However, while entry comes at no cost, arrangements and guidelines may change depending on the organisers. It is advisable to check for any updates or revisions before planning your visit.

What Will You Need to Pay For?

Although the IPL Fan Park Ticket is free of cost, there are a few things inside that you will need to pay for. Food kiosks and snack bars are inside the fan park, where you can buy food in case you feel hungry during a game.

Team merchandise, jerseys, caps, and accessories are also available for sale in case fans want to bring home a memory of the day. These are entirely optional items and will not have any impact on your participation and fun in the event.

• Double-header days (two games): Gates normally open at 1:30 PM IST.
