How to Buy India vs England 2026 Tickets
The ECB does not sell tickets centrally for international cricket.
Instead, each host county cricket club manages its own ticket sales through its official website.
Step-by-Step Booking Process
First, visit the official county cricket club website for your chosen match (links in the table above).
Next, select your preferred match, stand, and seat category from the available options.
After that, choose the number of tickets you need (most venues allow up to 6 per booking).
Finally, complete checkout using a debit/credit card and receive your e-tickets via email.
At Trent Bridge, for example, fans can secure up to 6 tickets per booking, while Pavilion seats are reserved for 2026 Nottinghamshire members only.
Priority Access Options
Joining We Are England Cricket Supporters (WAECS) is free and gives you a priority purchase window during the ballot phase.
County cricket club members at each host venue also get early access before general sale.
For 2026, the England international ballot ran from September 2 to September 30, 2025, with general sale opening afterwards.

Important Booking Tips for Fans
Getting tickets for India’s tour requires a bit of strategy, especially with multiple fixtures already sold out.
Buy Only From Official Sources
Always book through official county cricket club websites or the ECB tickets page.
The ECB explicitly warns against ticket touting and unofficial resellers.
Book Parking in Advance
Also, car parking is limited at most international venues and sells out for India fixtures.
At Utilita Bowl, you can pre-book parking during ticket checkout, and the venue strongly recommends doing so.
Lord’s does not offer on-site parking, and local area parking is restricted for non-residents.
Use the Waiting List
Sold-out venues like Old Trafford and Utilita Bowl offer waiting lists and resale platforms.
Furthermore, returns do become available as the match date approaches, so checking regularly is worth the effort.
Plan Around Start Times
Weekend T20Is (Old Trafford, Utilita Bowl) start at 2:30 PM BST, while the three midweek evening games (Durham, Trent Bridge, Bristol) start at 5:30 PM BST.
ODIs start between 11:00 AM and 12:00 PM BST, which works better for Indian TV audiences watching in the afternoon.
Watching From India: Broadcast and Streaming
If travelling to England isn’t an option, the entire series will be broadcast live on Sony Sports Network and streamed on Sony LIV in India.
The ECB’s decision to shift three T20I start times to 10:00 PM IST means most matches will wrap up around 2:00 AM IST, a manageable late night for cricket fans.
The Saturday afternoon T20Is at Old Trafford and Utilita Bowl start at 7:00 PM IST, which is the most viewer-friendly time slot.
Travel Packages for Indian Fans
The Bharat Army offers curated travel packages for Indian fans attending the tour
These typically include stadium access, hotel bookings, pre-match fan events, and group travel between venues.
Similarly, the Barmy Army (England’s official fan group) sells ticket packages for England supporters at barmyarmy.com/tickets, though several India fixtures have already sold out on their platform.
