CAN has designated eSewa as the official ticketing partner. Supporters are advised to use the official app or website rather than relying on unofficial sellers. Buying through authorised channels reduces the risk of invalid tickets and gives fans a clearer route to checking match availability and ticket categories.

What fans should know before going

The NPL runs from 26 October to 21 November, with eight franchises competing at Kirtipur. The schedule includes double-header days as well as single-match days. Following the introduction of the Decision Review System, CAN revised match timings: the first game on a double-header day is scheduled for 12:30 pm and the second for 5:00 pm, while single-match days are scheduled to begin at 5:00 pm. Supporters should check the official fixture and ticket listing for the specific match before travelling.

Ticket prices are only one part of planning a stadium visit. Fans should allow time for travel and entry procedures, follow venue guidance and confirm the latest information if match arrangements change. For popular fixtures, booking in advance through the official partner may help supporters avoid last-minute uncertainty.

Why the tournament matters this season

The third NPL season arrives with official ICC sanction, which gives matches official T20 status, and with DRS planned for every game. Stadium improvements, including additional seating and upgraded facilities, are also intended to improve the match-day experience. The combination of local talent and overseas professionals has helped raise interest in the competition.

With the opening date approaching, the published ticket structure gives fans a clear starting point for budgeting. Prices vary by seat category and by stage of the tournament, so supporters should confirm the rate shown for their chosen match before completing a purchase.
