The BCCI has officially confirmed the comeback of TATA IPL Fan Parks for the 2025 season. This time, the event will expand to 50 cities across 23 states and one union territory.
Fan Parks Across the Country
Starting from March 22 to May 25, 2025, Fan Parks will operate every weekend. They will cover a vast area, from Tinsukia (Assam) in the northeast to Kochi (Kerala) in the south, and from Amritsar (Punjab) in the north to Goa in the west. This ensures fans across India get to experience the IPL excitement up close.
Exciting Activities for Fans
Since its launch in 2015, IPL Fan Parks have been a fan-favorite. They offer live match screenings, music, entertainment, food courts, and kids’ play zones. Additionally, fans can participate in virtual batting, bowling nets, face painting, replica dugouts, cheer-o-meters, and 360° photo booths. These activities create an electrifying atmosphere, much like being inside a stadium.
New Cities Join the Celebration
For the first time, IPL Fan Parks will be set up in Kakinada (Andhra Pradesh), Dimapur (Nagaland), Karaikal (Puducherry), Manbhum and Purulia (West Bengal), Rohtak (Haryana), and Tinsukia (Assam). Meanwhile, the first Fan Parks of the season will launch in Rohtak (Haryana), Bikaner (Rajasthan), Gangtok (Sikkim), Kochi (Kerala), and Coimbatore (Tamil Nadu). Each weekend, multiple parks will be active in different states, making sure no fan misses out.
