Eden Gardens Set for Huge Makeover After This IPL Season

Eden Gardens is set to go through a massive upgrade after the IPL 2026. It is already known to be one of the finest stadiums in India, but the management has decided to make it even bigger. Reportedly, the stadium is also set to upgrade its capacity to 85,750 with this project.

A massive news story comes up for the cricket fans who live in Kolkata, or love watching the games at the Eden Gardens. This iconic stadium, which is known for several famous wins by the Indian team, is set to go through some upgrades after the IPL 2026. Some reports about the same have surfaced over the internet.

Currently, the stadium has a capacity of 68,000, which already makes it one of the biggest stadiums in India. But with the latest upgrade, which is set to be done, the updated capacity of the stadium would stand at 85,750. This will further allow more fans to witness the IPL action live at the stadium.

And it is not just the general seats which are about to be added in this upgrade. The seat upgrades include a 1530-seat sky deck, 4500 seats for the Premium General Admission, and 15 corporate boxes. In total, it can be said that the experience at Eden Gardens will get more exciting.

Our Take

It is a massive move to upgrade the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. This ground is known for its history in Indian cricket, and with its new upgrades, it is all set to get even better. However, fans would still be missing out on the action at this venue for a few months till it gets finished.

At this time, it becomes even more important for the fans to witness the IPL action at this venue. KKR is set to play a few more games here before the tournament ends. While their last match here didn't go as expected, the team will be eager to make the games memorable for fans before the stadium goes through an upgrade.
