Driving to an IPL match is usually the slowest way to get there. Most stadiums are in city centres where police close roads and ban parking on match days. This guide summarises where you can (and can’t) park at each major IPL venue, based on police and stadium advisories. Where a metro or train is close, it’s almost always the better choice.
Parking plans are announced before each match and can change. Check the latest traffic police advisory for your city.

No. There’s no public parking at Wankhede, so take a local train to Churchgate or Marine Lines.
At some venues, yes. For example, Narendra Modi Stadium and Mullanpur have used the Show My Parking app. At most city-centre stadiums, public parking is limited to police-designated grounds.
