Tickets for the highly-awaited ICC Men's Champions Trophy 2025 scheduled to be hosted by Pakistan, will go on sale on January 28 (Tuesday) at 14:00 PST, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) revealed on Monday. 

Fans can now secure a seat for themselves to watch the matches of the mega event live in Pakistan's venues with UAE hosting India's fixtures from February 19 to March 9. 

The event will kick off with a match between Pakistan and New Zealand held at the National Stadium Karachi. The hosts will strive to defend the title they won in 2017 by defeating India in the final under the leadership of Sarfaraz Ahmed after they lost their first match of the event against the arch-rivals.

The national cricketing body has stated that "members of the ICC family will enjoy exclusive early access, with a two-hour priority window to purchase tickets which is open now".

Ticket prices have also been revealed but they vary from stand to stand with the general stand ticket costing Rs1,000 and more premium seating available from Rs1,500 across the 10 matches taking place in Karachi, Lahore and Rawalpindi.
