Five-time champions Mumbai Indians have announced the ticket sale schedule for their home matches in the opening phase of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, which runs from 28 March to 12 April.
The
Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) recently confirmed that MI will play four matches in the first phase. The Hardik Pandya-led side will begin their campaign at home against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on 29 March at the Wankhede Stadium, before travelling to face Delhi Capitals (DC) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) in consecutive away fixtures.
They will then return to Wankhede for a high-profile clash with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).
Tickets will be available exclusively as digital M-Tickets via the BookMyShow website and app, with sales organised in four phases. The first phase, for Google Pay (GPAY UPI) users, will run from 12:00 IST on 19 March to 12:00 IST on 21 March. Early access for MI Gold, Silver and Junior Members follows from 15:00 IST on 21 March to 15:00 IST on 22 March.
