The International Cricket Council (ICC) has launched ticket sales for the 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup. More than two million tickets are available in this initial phase. India and Sri Lanka will co-host the tournament from February 7 to March 8, 2026. The ICC has set an affordable pricing strategy to maximise fan access.
Tickets in India start at INR 100 (approximately $1.20 USD). In Sri Lanka, the entry price begins at LKR 1,000 (approximately $3.30 USD). This first-phase pricing aims to give all fans a fair chance to attend. Details for the second phase of ticket sales will be announced later.
ICC CEO Sanjog Gupta called this launch an “important milestone.” He stated the goal is to deliver “the most accessible and global ICC event ever staged.” Gupta emphasised their vision for the tournament. “Every fan, regardless of background, geography or financial means, should have the chance to access an in-stadia experience,” he said.
