PCA Stadium Mullanpur IPL 2026 Tickets, Prices & Booking Guide

April 1, 2026

Written By:

PCA Stadium Mullanpur IPL 2026 tickets range from ₹2,250 to ₹25,000 on District by Zomato, the exclusive ticketing partner for Punjab Kings home matches. The Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur (New Chandigarh) hosts 4 confirmed PBKS home matches this season, with 3 additional home games later shifting to Dharamshala.

India’s newest IPL venue, the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Stadium in Mullanpur, seats 38,000 and was built for ₹230 crore, with stands named after Yuvraj Singh and Harmanpreet Kaur. Punjab Kings, captained by Shreyas Iyer, play four home games here in 2025 (Mar 31, Apr 9, Apr 19, May 4).

The PCA announced plans for this stadium in March 2010. Built on 41.95 acres in Mullanpur village (Mohali district), the ₹230-crore project replaced the aging IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali as PBKS’s primary home from 2024. Everything about this venue screams modern: comfortable seating, smart LED floodlights, and a drainage system that outperforms most older Indian stadiums.

The Yuvraj Singh & Harmanpreet Kaur Stands

In December 2025, ahead of the India vs South Africa T20I, the PCA named two stands after Yuvraj Singh (former India all-rounder, Punjab cricket legend, T20 World Cup 2007 hero) and Harmanpreet Kaur (India women’s captain, Punjab’s most celebrated woman cricketer). Sitting in a stand named after a World Cup hero adds a layer of history to an otherwise brand-new stadium.

The 25–30 Minute Drainage System

The stadium uses a herringbone drainage system that clears rainwater from the playing field in 25–30 minutes. This means complete washouts remain extremely unlikely even if a heavy shower hits mid-match. For fans worried about rain delays in the Punjab monsoon transition period (late April/May), this drainage system offers serious reassurance.

PCA Stadium Mullanpur IPL 2026 Ticket Prices

CategoryPrice RangeSectionNote

Mid-Range / Premium₹4,000 – ₹8,000Lower tiers, closer viewsBest value-for-view ratio
VIP / Hospitality₹10,000 – ₹25,000Premium/luxury sectionsFull hospitality experience

The ₹2,250 starting price positions Mullanpur in the mid-range among IPL venues. Cheaper than Mumbai (₹2,800) and Bengaluru (₹3,750), but higher than Ahmedabad (₹1,000), Lucknow (₹1,000), or Delhi (₹1,400). The ₹25,000 VIP tier matches Mumbai’s top-end.

District Booking Fee

District by Zomato charges a booking fee of approximately 10–12%, inclusive of GST on top of the ticket price. For example, a ₹2,250 ticket carries an additional ₹265.50 booking fee, bringing the total to ₹2,515.50.

40% GST Factor

All IPL 2026 tickets above ₹500 attract 40% GST at checkout. A ₹2,250 ticket costs roughly ₹3,150 after tax plus the booking fee. Always verify the final total.

Where to Book PCA Stadium IPL 2026 Tickets

Zomato District handles all PBKS home-ticket sales at Mullanpur for IPL 2026.

Online Platform

  • District by Zomato: Visit district.zomato.com or download the District app. Search for ‘Punjab Kings’ or ‘Mullanpur Stadium’.
  • Punjab Kings Website: punjabkingsipl.in provides early-access links that redirect to District.

PBKS tickets do NOT appear on BookMyShow. BookMyShow handles MI, GT, KKR, and LSG. If you search BookMyShow for PBKS or Mullanpur listings, you won’t find them. SRH fans attending the April 11 away game at Mullanpur also need the District, not their usual platform.

Offline Counters

Limited tickets go on sale at the Mullanpur Stadium box office and authorised retail outlets in Chandigarh and Mohali a few days before each match. The PBKS social media pages share the outlet list closer to game day.

Warning: Only buy from official outlets. Avoid street sellers. Fake tickets pose a real problem for high-demand PBKS matches.

The Physical Ticket Pickup System: Unique to PBKS

Here’s something no other IPL franchise does quite this way. PBKS offers physical ticket pickup at two locations:

  • Gate No. 2, IS Bindra Stadium (old PCA Stadium), Sukhna Path, Sector 63, Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar, Chandigarh 160062
  • Mullanpur Stadium (DLF Mullanpur, New Chandigarh, Tira)

During booking on District, you select your pickup date and time slot (e.g., 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM). Collect your physical tickets at least a day before the match. Do not wait until match day.

Alternatively, the District sends physical tickets to your address 2–3 days before the match. Enter the correct delivery address during booking.

IPL 2026 Matches at PCA Stadium, Mullanpur

PBKS host 4 matches at Mullanpur and 3 at Dharamshala (HPCA Stadium) across the full season. Here are the confirmed Mullanpur fixtures:

May 17SundayRoyal Challengers Bengaluru3:30 PMDharamshala

The Apr 19 LSG fixture brings Rishabh Pant to Mullanpur. Pant (₹27 crore, the most expensive Indian player) visiting as an opposition captain will draw massive interest. The Mar 31 GT opener carries home-opener premium demand.

The Afternoon Game: PBKS vs SRH (Apr 11, 3:30 PM)

One Mullanpur fixture falls in the 3:30 PM afternoon slot. Late March/early April evenings in Chandigarh stay pleasant (18–25°C), but an afternoon game pushes daytime temperatures to 28–35°C. Light clothing and sunscreen work for the afternoon fixture. Evening games sit comfortably in the coolest hours.

Three Consecutive Dharamshala Games in Mid-May

PBKS shift to Dharamshala for three consecutive home matches (May 11, 14, 17) against DC, MI, and RCB. The HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala sits at an elevation of 1,457 metres, with the Dhauladhar mountain range as the backdrop. It’s the most picturesque IPL venue in the world. Tickets for Dharamshala typically cost less than those for metro-city venues and sell out fast due to limited capacity. Separate Dharamshala ticket details will follow closer to those dates.

Punjab Kings IPL 2026 Squad: Key Players at Mullanpur

Marco JansenLeft-arm fast all-rounderSouth African X-factor. Left-arm bounce + lower-order batting.
Yuzvendra ChahalLeg-spinnerHighest wicket-taker in IPL history. Wickets in every phase of the innings.

Head coach Ricky Ponting returns after guiding PBKS to the 2025 final. Coaching staff includes Brad Haddin (batting coach), Sairaj Bahutule (spin consultant), and James Hopes (bowling coach). The 2025 runners-up lost Glenn Maxwell but added Cooper Connolly, Ben Dwarshuis, and Mitchell Owen in the auction.

The pace trio of Arshdeep, Lockie Ferguson, and Marco Jansen gives PBKS one of the most potent new-ball attacks in IPL 2026. Arshdeep’s bowling at Mullanpur in front of his home crowd remains one of the most electric moments in Punjab cricket.
