New Delhi, February 24 – The tickets for the semi-finals and final of the 2026 T20 World Cup will go on sale at 7 pm IST on Tuesday, as announced by the International Cricket Council (ICC) in a press release.
Cricket fans can book seats for the first semi-final on March 4, the second semi-final on March 5, and the highly anticipated final on March 8 through the official booking websites.
However, the venue for Semi-final 1 remains subject to change. The match will be held either at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo or at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. While Semi-final 2 is confirmed to take place at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
According to tournament guidelines, if the Pakistan cricket team qualifies for the semi-finals, they will play semi-final 1 in Colombo on March 4. If Pakistan fails to qualify but the Sri Lanka team reaches the Super 4 and is not drawn against India, the match will be played in Colombo.
If neither of these conditions applies, or if India are drawn against Sri Lanka, semi-final 1 will be held at Eden Gardens on the same date.
The venue of the final also depends on Pakistan’s progress. If Pakistan reaches the final, the final will be played in Colombo. Otherwise, the final will be hosted in Ahmedabad.
The ICC clarified that tickets purchased for a venue that does not ultimately host either semi-final 1 or the final will be fully refunded.
The first phase of ticket sales includes a limited allocation across categories for all three knockout matches, with strong demand expected as the tournament approaches its final stages.
India are placed in Group A in the ongoing Super 8 round with West Indies, South Africa, and Zimbabwe, while Pakistan is present in Group B with England, New Zealand, and the co-hosts Sri Lanka. The top two teams from each group will proceed to the semi-finals, which will be a knockout clash.
