While the full league schedule is out, Eden Gardens remains a primary choice for high stakes games, including the potentially massive May 7 clash where KKR will face the Chennai Super Kings in a repeat of previous years&#8217; rivalries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Also Check:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/leaguesschedule.com\/ipl\/2026\/venues\/\">IPL 2026 Venues<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Eden_Gardens_Enclosures\"><\/span>Eden Gardens Enclosures<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Eden Gardens features a variety of specialized stands and enclosures designed to provide the best view of the action. The stadium is divided into several blocks, including Block B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K, and L, alongside the prestigious Club House, which offers both upper and lower tier premium seating for VIP guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recent renovations have improved the seating comfort and sightlines across all enclosures, particularly the High Court End and the Pavilion End. The stadium&#8217;s circular shape and compact boundaries ensure that no matter where you are seated, you are never far from the roar of the crowd and the intensity of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pitch_Condition\"><\/span>Pitch Condition<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pitch at the Eden Gardens has evolved into a batter&#8217;s paradise in recent years, featuring a surface relaid with black soil that offers consistent bounce and true pace. This allows stroke makers to play their shots freely, often resulting in high scoring encounters with totals frequently crossing the 200 run mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the surface still offers some early assistance to pacers who can find swing and seam movement during the powerplay. As the match progresses, especially in evening fixtures, the &#8220;dew factor&#8221; becomes a major talking point, often making the ball slippery and prompting captains to bowl first and chase under the lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"IPL_Records_in_Eden_Gardens\"><\/span>IPL Records in Eden Gardens<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Eden Gardens holds a rich history of IPL records, most notably hosting the highest successful run chase in league history when Punjab Kings chased down 262 against KKR in 2024. It is a ground where batting records are frequently shattered, yet it also witnessed the lowest total in IPL history (49 all out) in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes has-small-font-size\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><td><strong>Record<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Stat<\/strong>s<\/td><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Highest Team Total<\/strong><\/td><td>262\/2 by Punjab Kings (2024)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Lowest Team Total<\/strong><\/td><td>49 by RCB vs KKR (2017)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Highest Individual Score<\/strong><\/td><td>112* by Rajat Patidar <\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Best Bowling Figures<\/strong><\/td><td>5\/19 by Sunil Narine <\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Most Runs at Venue<\/strong><\/td><td>1,407 runs by Gautam Gambhir<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Eden_Gardens_IPL_2026_Ticket_Prices\"><\/span>Eden Gardens IPL 2026 Ticket Prices<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tickets for the 2026 season at the Eden Gardens are priced to be accessible for all fans, with entry level prices starting at historic lows. Official tickets can be booked through partners like BookMyShow, with various price brackets based on the stand and hospitality features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes has-small-font-size\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><td><strong>Stand Category<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Price<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>General Stands (B, C, G, H, K, L)<\/strong><\/td><td>\u20b9100 to \u20b91,200<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Premium Blocks (D, E, F, J)<\/strong><\/td><td>\u20b91,500 to \u20b94,500<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Club House (Upper\/Lower)<\/strong><\/td><td>\u20b95,000 to \u20b915,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>VIP Hospitality Boxes<\/strong><\/td><td>\u20b918,000 to \u20b935,000<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Eden_Gardens_Location\"><\/span>Eden Gardens Location<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Eden Gardens is located in the heart of Kolkata on Gostho Paul Sarani, in the B.B.D. Bagh area near the Maidan. For fans traveling from other states, it is roughly 15 km from Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport and just 4 km from the Howrah Railway Station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reaching the stadium is easy via the Kolkata Metro, with the Esplanade and Chandni Chowk stations being the closest hubs. For those traveling within the city, local buses, taxis, and the iconic Kolkata trams provide a direct link to the stadium gates, though arriving early is advised due to match day traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"IPL_19_Matches_in_Eden_Gardens\"><\/span>IPL 19 Matches in Eden Gardens<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 2026 IPL schedule brings several blockbuster league matches to the City of Joy. Below is the list of matches scheduled to take place at the Eden Gardens for the 19th edition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes has-small-font-size\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><td><strong>Date<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Teams<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Time<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>22 Mar 2026<\/strong><\/td><td>KKR vs RCB<\/td><td>7:30 PM<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>06 Apr 2026<\/strong><\/td><td>KKR vs LSG<\/td><td>3:30 PM<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>04 May 2026<\/strong><\/td><td>KKR vs RR<\/td><td>7:30 PM<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>07 May 2026<\/strong><\/td><td>KKR vs CSK<\/td><td>7:30 PM<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_team_has_the_Best_performance_in_Eden_Gardens_in_IPL_2025\"><\/span>Which team has the Best performance in Eden Gardens in IPL 2025?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the previous 2025 season, the Eden Gardens remained a fortress for the home team, Kolkata Knight Riders, but also proved to be a challenging ground for others. KKR won several key home games, including a massive 80 run victory against SRH, though they suffered a narrow 1 run loss to the Rajasthan Royals in a high scoring thriller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite some mixed results, KKR\u2019s spinners and power hitters generally thrived on this surface. Interestingly, visiting teams like RCB and LSG also found success at the Gardens last year, proving that while it is KKR&#8217;s home, the flat pitch allows any team with strong batting depth to dominate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs\"><\/span>FAQ&#8217;s<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1770037778864\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is the seating capacity of Eden Gardens?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The stadium currently has a seating capacity of approximately 68,000 spectators.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1770037791516\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Which is the nearest metro station to the stadium?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The Esplanade Metro Station is the most convenient access point for fans attending matches.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1770037792152\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is the lowest score ever recorded at Eden Gardens?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The lowest total is 49 all out, recorded by Royal Challengers Bengaluru against KKR in 2017.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1770037792750\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Is the pitch at Eden Gardens good for spin?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">While it is now more batting friendly, the surface still offers turn and grip to spinners like Sunil Narine in the middle overs.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1770037793510\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Who has the most IPL runs at this venue?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Former KKR captain Gautam Gambhir holds the record for the most runs at this ground with over 1,400 runs.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Eden Gardens stadium in Kolkata is officially set to host several marquee matches for the IPL 2026 season, starting with the opening clash between KKR and RCB on March 22.
