IPL 2026 fan parks to be held across 15 cities from March 28

IPL 2026 fan parks will be held across 15 cities in 11 states during the first phase of the tournament.

The fan parks will begin on March 28 and will be organised over three weekends: March 28 and 29, April 4 and 5, and April 11 and 12.

Each weekend will feature five fan parks across different regions, covering north, south, east and west zones.

The first weekend will include Rohtak, Bhopal, Nagpur, Tumakuru and Krishnanagar. The second weekend will cover Mathura, Jodhpur, Nizamabad, Mysuru and Bhubaneswar. The third weekend will include Meerut, Nadiad, Ratnagiri, Coimbatore and Rourkela.

The fan parks will host live screenings of IPL matches along with on-ground activities such as music, entertainment, food courts, children’s play areas and interactive fan engagement initiatives. These include virtual batting experiences, bowling nets, face painting, cheer-o-meters and 360-degree photo booths.

The initiative is aimed at taking the IPL experience beyond stadiums and providing access to fans across multiple cities.

The fan park programme, which began in 2015, is designed to expand the reach of the tournament and increase engagement with audiences across the country.
