ILT20 2026 ticket price
Tickets are priced by venue, match and seating category, not by team, and are charged in UAE dirhams (AED). Exact Season 5 prices for each match are shown on Platinumlist. The table below shows what fans paid in earlier seasons, as a guide.
| Ticket type | Past-season price | Season 5 price |
|---|---|---|
| General stand (adult) | From AED 20 | From AED 20 |
| Child (age 6 to 16) | From AED 10 | From AED 10 |
| Child (under 5) | Free | Free |
| Premium seats | Higher, varies by venue | Higher, varies by venue |
| Hospitality boxes | Higher, varies by venue | Higher, varies by venue |
AED 20 is roughly ₹450 or US$5.50. In past seasons the league also ran early-bird and buy-one-get-one offers, so it is worth booking as soon as sales open. Expect the opening match (21 Nov), the UAE National Day double-header (2 Dec) and the final (20 Dec) to cost more and sell out first.

Tips for ILT20 match day
- Arrive early for the 21 November opener, the 2 December National Day games and the final, when crowds are biggest.
- Afternoon or evening. The six afternoon matches start at 2:00 PM local time and are cooler and easier for families; evening games start at 6:30 PM under the lights.
- Pick your ground. Sharjah is the smallest and most atmospheric of the three, Abu Dhabi has the biggest outfield, and Dubai’s “Ring of Fire” stadium hosts the final.
- Can’t make it to the stadium? In India, every match is live on Zee TV channels and the ZEE5 app.
