Which Mumbai Indians (MI) home games are on sale and the GPay window that is live now

Mumbai Indians have opened ticket sales for two home matches. MI vs KKR on March 29 at 7:30 PM and MI vs RCB on April 12 at 7:30 PM both at the Wankhede Stadium. Both are evening games and among the more anticipated fixtures of the first phase of IPL 2026.

The Phase 1 sale is exclusively for Google Pay UPI users and is live right now until March 21 at 12:00 IST. Booking through this window also comes with cashback rewards. UPI payments get a flat Rs 200 cashback.

Flex by Google Pay credit card users get Rs 300 worth of rewards including flat Rs 200 cashback and 100 stars. Other RuPay card payments added on Google Pay get flat Rs 200 cashback.

A maximum of one reward per user applies and the cashback offer runs from March 19 at 12:00 IST to March 21 at 12:00 IST. If you are a GPay user this is the best time to book.

The remaining three booking phases and what each one means

After the GPay window closes three more phases follow before tickets open to everyone.

  • Phase 2 opens on March 21 at 15:00 IST and runs until March 22 at 15:00 IST. This is the early access window for MI Gold, Silver and Junior members who get priority over general public buyers.
  • Phase 3 opens on March 22 at 17:00 IST and runs until March 23 at 17:00 IST. This window provides early access to MI Blue members and those who pre-registered on BookMyShow, ahead of the public sale.
  • Phase 4 opens on March 23 at 18:00 IST and has no set end time. This is the general public sale where anyone can book tickets through the standard channels.

How to book and what you need to know before you try

Tickets are available through BookMyShow which is the primary online booking platform for IPL matches. Mumbai Indians (MI) members who want to use their early access windows need to make sure they are signed into BookMyShow using the same phone number and email address they used when registering their membership on mumbaiindians.com. If the credentials do not match the early access window will not be available.

There is one important deadline for members to be aware of. To be eligible for the Phase 2 or Phase 3 early access windows the MI membership must have been purchased before March 19 at 23:59 IST. Memberships taken out after that cutoff will not qualify for priority booking in this sale cycle.

For fans who prefer to buy in person offline tickets are also available at the Wankhede Stadium box office on match day subject to availability. The online phases are the safest way to guarantee seats for high demand games like MI vs KKR and MI vs RCB and given how quickly IPL tickets tend to sell out at the Wankhede getting in during one of the early windows is the most reliable approach.
