MUMBAI
Cricket fever is sweeping the nation as the BCCI announced the first phase of IPL Fan Parks for 2026. This initiative aims to bring the stadium atmosphere to fans who cannot attend matches in person. Over the first three weekends of the season, fifteen cities across eleven states will host these massive community screenings.
These Fan Parks are designed to be more than just a giant screen. Families can enjoy food courts, music, and kids’ play zones. For those wanting to test their skills, the venues will feature virtual batting and bowling nets. There are even 360-degree photo booths and face painting to help supporters show their team pride.
The first phase of the schedule is organized by region to ensure everyone gets a chance to join the party:
