In a significant move, the ICC has lowered a key entry barrier for fans by keeping Phase I ticket prices highly affordable. With prices starting at INR 100 in India and LKR 1000 in Sri Lanka, and more than two million tickets on sale, the ICC aims to make the in-stadium experience more accessible than ever.
CC CEO, Mr 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. The sale of tickets for Phase I will begin at 6:45 PM IST.
“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."
