The ICC ticket ballot for the 2027 Men's Cricket World Cup in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia closes at 23:59 South Africa time on 21 November 2026. Entry needs no payment, and entering early doesn't help. Each match is a separate draw, so enter every India game, once each. If you're drawn, you can buy up to four tickets.
En Route Truth: Demand passed 15 million tickets in the first twelve days. A fan who makes all fourteen entries below has far better odds than one who enters only India v Pakistan.
