Ticket sales for the upcoming men’s T20 World Cup went live at 6.45 pm India time on Thursday. The base price of tickets for Phase I of the tournament in India has been kept at Rs 100 (approximately $1.11), while it would be LKR 1,000 (approximately $3.26) in Sri Lanka. The two countries are co-hosting the tournament to be played across eight venues from February 7 to March 8. Tickets can be purchased at https://tickets.cricketworldcup.com.
For India matches, ticket prices start from Rs 500, as the International Cricket Council (ICC) aimed to reduce “one of the primary entry barriers” for fans to enjoy the tournament. ICC chief executive 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.”
He added: “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.”
BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia said: “With tickets starting as low as ₹100, the excitement around the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 is multiplied manifold. 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 2026 edition of the T20 World Cup will have 20 teams and 55 matches, the biggest in the history of the tournament yet.
