With the countdown to the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 underway, the BCCI has announced the commencement of the third stage (Phase 3) of ticket sales, giving fans another chance to secure seats for matches across the tournament.
Phase 3 follows two earlier windows – Phase 1 launched on December 11, 2025, and Phase 2 on January 14, 2026 — and is expected to see strong demand as the tournament nears, with matches set to be played across India’s major cricket venues.
BCCI President Mithun Manhas said the board is working closely with the ICC to deliver the tournament “to the highest standards,” while Honorary Secretary Devajit Saikia added that the response to earlier phases underlined the anticipation around the World Cup.
