The new Goods and Services Tax (GST) rates are set to affect the world of cricket, specifically impacting the Indian Premier League (IPL). Fans will experience an increase in ticket prices when attending matches at stadiums. During a GST Council meeting held on September 3rd in New Delhi, chaired by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, a decision was made to increase the GST on IPL tickets by 12 percent. This change is likely to be seen during the IPL 2026 season.
