From Rohtak to Coimbatore, fans can enjoy IPL action on giant screens with a stadium-like vibe
March 25, 2026: The Indian Premier League 2026 is set to reach fans beyond stadiums through vibrant Fan Parks, an initiative by the Board of Control for Cricket in India. Launched in 2015, these parks aim to recreate the electrifying atmosphere of venues like Wankhede Stadium and Eden Gardens in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities. With giant LED screens, live match screenings, and energetic crowds, fans get a shared, stadium-like experience right in their hometowns.
One of the biggest attractions is that entry is completely free, making it accessible to everyone. Visitors can enjoy matches on a first-come, first-served basis, along with a carnival-like environment featuring food stalls, kids’ zones, and interactive activities such as face painting and photo booths. Gates typically open in the afternoon, and arriving early is recommended for the best viewing spots.
The first phase of Fan Parks will be held across multiple cities over three weekends, including Rohtak, Bhopal, Nagpur, Mysuru, Bhubaneswar, Meerut, and Coimbatore. While entry is free, fans can purchase food and official merchandise inside the venue. With a mix of cricket, entertainment, and community spirit, these Fan Parks promise to make IPL 2026 a truly nationwide celebration.
