Tickets on sale now
SialTV can confirm the plain facts first: NPL Season 3 tickets are on sale, and there is exactly one place to buy them. The Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) announced the Season 3 prices on Wednesday 22 October 2026, and sales opened on eSewa the same evening at 8:00 PM Nepal time. eSewa is the league’s exclusive ticketing partner — CAN awarded it the Season 3 ticketing rights on 7 September 2026 — so any other seller claiming NPL tickets is not the official channel.
All 32 matches are at the TU International Cricket Ground in Kirtipur, from the opener on 26 October to the final on 21 November 2026. Tickets are digital, with a QR code checked at the turnstiles. This page lists the announced prices and the buying rules; it does not sell tickets, and SialTV takes no bookings.
Ticket prices
Prices announced by CAN on 22 October 2026, in Nepali rupees. League matches are the 28 league-stage games; the season pass covers every Season 3 fixture, including the playoffs and the final.
| Match stage | General | Premium |
|---|---|---|
| League stage (28 matches) | Rs 500 | Rs 1,000 |
| Eliminator & Final | Rs 1,000 | Rs 2,000 |
| Season pass (all 32 matches) | Rs 15,000 | — |
Qualifier 1 and Qualifier 2 are not in the announced price table, so their ticket prices are TBC — the table above is exactly what CAN published. Prices are checked against the eSewa event listing before paying, because the listing is what you are actually buying.
Buying a ticket
Tickets are sold only through the eSewa smartphone app and the eSewa web portal — no counters, no other websites. The booking shows the match, the date, the two teams, the venue and the seat category; check all five against the NPL Schedule before paying, and check whether the displayed total includes any service charge. The ticket arrives as a digital pass with a QR code, which is validated at the Kirtipur turnstiles before entry.
Keep the booking confirmation and the payment receipt. For a payment or delivery problem, the seller named on the booking confirmation is the one to contact — SialTV cannot retrieve an eSewa order or authorise a refund. Season passes and single-match tickets are separate products: a league-match ticket does not cover the playoffs, and only the Rs 15,000 pass covers every fixture.
At the ground
Every match of the season is at one ground — the TU International Cricket Ground in Kirtipur — so there is one set of gates and one pair of daily start times: 12:30 PM NST on double-header days, 4:30 PM NST on single-match days. A fan zone sits outside the eastern gate, with a big screen for fans without a seat inside.
Check the gate named on your ticket before travelling — a general map pin does not identify your spectator entrance — and allow time for the security check at the turnstiles. Gate opening times, parking, free child admission and permitted items have not been verified here; they are on the eSewa event listing for each match.
If you stay home
Every match is also shown through the official broadcasters — no ticket needed, and no pirated stream, ever. The NetTV season pass is sold through eSewa as well, as a coupon: Rs 400 in Nepal, Rs 600 in the Middle East, and about US$10 elsewhere. The coupon code arrives by SMS and is entered in the NetTV app or web platform; it works on the app and web only, not on Smart TV or set-top box apps, and it is country-locked and non-refundable.
