The heartbeat of Mumbai is about to get louder. With the Mumbai Indians (MI) set to kick off their IPL 2026 campaign at the Wankhede Stadium on March 29 against KKR, the Paltan is scrambling for tickets.
If you want to secure a seat at the Wankhede, you need to know that MI follows a tiered release system. Here is the latest update on how to grab your tickets before they vanish.
The MI Family membership: Your secret weapon
Mumbai Indians has officially opened its MI Family Membership for 2026. This is currently the only confirmed way to jump the queue.
Who gets early access? Members (Gold, Silver, and even the Free Blue Tier) get a 24-to-48 hour head start on ticket bookings before they are opened to the general public.
How to become a member? Fans can sign up on the official Mumbai Indians website or app. While the Gold tier offers jerseys and kits, the Blue Tier is Free and still provides early access- making it a must-have for every fan.
Official Ticketing Partner: BookMyShow
As of March 12, BookMyShow has officially gone live with Pre-sale Registrations.
What’s the process of pre-sale registration? Currently, fans cannot buy the ticket, but can register their interest. This ensures they get a push notification or email the exact second the window opens.
When will the ticket sales be released? Tickets for the first two home games (vs KKR on March 29 and vs. RCB on April 12) will be released first.
Expected Dates
MI Membership Pre-Sale: Expected to begin between March 18-20

Match Day 1: March 29 vs KKR (07:30 PM IST).
