With the IPL (Indian Premier League) 2026 all set to kick off on March 28, the fans will be heavily anticipating the start of the tournament, as they will be looking to see their favourite players from across the globe in action as they take centre stage in the IPL.ย
Ahead of the tournament, the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) came forward and announced the schedule for the IPL fan parks for the first phase of the tournament.ย
It is worth noting that the fan parks will be hosted across 15 cities in 11 states during the first three weeks, offering fans the experience and opportunity to experience the IPL matches live with other fans.ย
Notably, each week will feature five Fan Parks across different zones โ north, south, east and west โ which will ensure maximum fan engagement.ย
What will each fan park offer to the fans?
Interestingly, every fan park will feature live screenings and will have a plethora of on-ground activities for the fans to enjoy, including music, entertainment, food courts, and kidsโ play zones.
