NPL tickets 2026: buying on eSewa
The Cricket Association of Nepal sold the 2026 ticketing rights to eSewa for Rs 85 lakh; CAN keeps 95% of ticket revenue and eSewa 5%. Tickets are digital and sold through the eSewa platform.
- Open eSewa. Use the eSewa app or website and log in.
- Find the NPL section. Look for Nepal Premier League tickets once sales open.
- Pick the match and stand. Check the date and start time (12:30 or 17:00).
- Pay and keep the ticket. Save the digital ticket on your phone before you travel to Kirtipur.
NPL ticket prices: what we know
The NPL ticket price list for 2026 has not been announced. For reference, the 2025 season, sold through Khalti, cost:
| 2025 ticket | Price |
|---|---|
| General | Rs 500 |
| Premium, weekdays | Rs 1,000 |
| Premium, opening day and Saturdays | Rs 1,500 |
| Season pass | Rs 15,000 |
The ticketing partner changed from Khalti to eSewa for 2026, so the price structure may change too. We will publish the 2026 prices here when CAN or eSewa announces them.
TU International Cricket Ground, Kirtipur
All 32 matches are at Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground in Kirtipur, Kathmandu. CAN said in October it is upgrading crowd management and spectator facilities for this season.
- Arrive early on double-header days; the 12:30 match ends close to the start of the 17:00 one.
- Evening matches and the final on 21 November are played under lights; Kirtipur gets cold after sunset in November.
- In 2025 opening day and Saturdays were priced higher than weekdays, a sign of bigger demand; buy those tickets first.
Avoid fake tickets
- Do not pay for tickets through Facebook or TikTok messages.
- Ignore sites listing 2026 prices before the official announcement.
- Khalti was the 2025 partner; a 2026 ticket offered "on Khalti" is not from the official seller.
- Screenshots of tickets can be copied; only buy tickets issued to your own eSewa account.
NPL match day at Kirtipur: a checklist
- Your eSewa ticket saved offline on your phone, with the battery charged.
- Photo ID in case the gate checks names.
- A warm layer for the 17:00 match; it ends after dark.
- Cash and a wallet app for food stalls.
- A plan for getting home after the evening match: traffic out of Kirtipur builds at the final whistle.
Which matches to buy first
