The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced the schedule for IPL Fan Parks 2026. The events will take place during the first three weekends of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026.
The Fan Parks will be set up in 15 cities across 11 states. This move aims to bring the IPL experience closer to fans who cannot visit stadiums. Fans will be able to watch live matches in a fun and lively environment.
Each Fan Park will have big screens for live match screenings. There will also be many activities for fans. These include music shows, entertainment programs, and food courts. Kids will have play zones. Fans can also enjoy virtual batting, bowling nets, face painting, cheer-o-meters, and 360-degree photo booths.
The IPL Fan Park initiative started in 2015. Since then, it has helped in taking the league to different parts of the country. It has become very popular among fans. The 2026 season will continue this tradition.
