Kirtipur, Kathmandu
CAN also lists Home of Nepal Cricket and Kirtipur Cricket Ground as names for the ground. The listed capacity is not ticket inventory or a guaranteed event-day crowd limit.
Gates, tickets, parking, transport, weather, pitch dimensions and current facility conditions were not verified. Recheck the organizer before travel.
Historical context: the dated passages below this notice preserve the earlier source snapshot and are not current status claims.
Current 6 November venue check: all 32 native fixtures remain assigned to the preserved TU International Cricket Ground / Kirtipur record. The afternoon 16:30 NPT versus 17:00 NPT source-clock conflict remains conspicuous and unresolved; no new ground fact is asserted.
The Nepal Premier League 2026 schedule assigns all 32 listed fixtures to one ground: Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground in Kirtipur, Nepal [1]. The Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) lists the same venue as TU International Cricket Ground in Kirtipur, Kathmandu [2]. These are two names for the one assigned 2026 venue, not separate grounds.
Key Takeaways
- One venue is assigned across the checked 32-fixture NPL 2026 schedule: Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground, Kirtipur.
- CAN’s shorter name is TU International Cricket Ground. CAN also lists Home of Nepal Cricket and Kirtipur Cricket Ground as names for the venue [2].
- CAN lists the ground as established in 1998, with Chobhar end, Pavilion end and a capacity of 15,000+. That capacity is a listed ground figure, not a promise of tickets, available seats or event-day attendance [2].
- The checked sources do not verify gates, ticket prices, parking, public transport, bag rules, weather, pitch dimensions or current 2026 facility conditions.
- The schedule and fixture view should be used for individual match dates, local start times and links. This article does not restate every fixture card.
The schedule uses the expanded name Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground and labels the place Kirtipur, Nepal [1]. CAN’s ground-detail page uses TU International Cricket Ground and gives the location as Kirtipur, Kathmandu [2]. The matching name and location identify the same venue in this NPL dataset. CAN separately lists Mulpani International Cricket Ground, but no accepted 2026 fixture is assigned there [2].
CAN also lists Home of Nepal Cricket and Kirtipur Cricket Ground under “Also Known As.” Those are aliases for the same ground, not extra venues in the NPL schedule [2]. The source describes the entry as ground information, so this page keeps the evidence-specific ground name rather than turning it into an unsupported claim about a larger Kathmandu stadium complex.
For the date-by-date fixture list, match links and local start times, use the Nepal Premier League 2026 schedule and results. Fixture clocks belong to the schedule page; the afternoon listing remains qualified there because sources conflict [1]. Recheck the linked match listing before travelling because the checked snapshot is not a live or auto-refreshing feed.
CAN lists the venue’s establishment as 1998. It also names the ends as Chobhar end and Pavilion end and displays capacity as 15,000+ [2]. These fields are useful for identifying the ground, but they should not be read as a 2026 ticket inventory, a fixed number of seats available for a particular match, or a guaranteed match-day crowd limit.
The checked venue sources do not provide a street address or coordinates. They also do not establish entry gates, ticket costs, parking, public-transport arrangements, security or bag rules. There is no sourced weather outlook, pitch-dimension record, pitch report or current-condition statement in this page’s evidence. Visitors should confirm the organizer’s current instructions before making a trip.
For wider context, the Cricket Grounds Directory is the existing site directory. It does not create a new TU International Cricket Ground guide, and no Kirtipur-specific route is implied here.
The eight NPL 2026 team identities in the checked schedule are Karnali Yaks, Lumbini Lions, Chitwan Rhinos, Janakpur Bolts, Sudur Paschim Royals, Biratnagar Kings, Kathmandu Gorkhas and Pokhara Avengers [1]. The NPL teams page provides the appropriate team-level context rather than this venue page repeating profile material.
A teams surface may display “Kathmandu Gurkhas” as a display variant, but the canonical name used here is Kathmandu Gorkhas, the same franchise. Full 2026 rosters and captains were not verified on this venue page, so no 2025 roster details or captain claims are carried forward.
The checked standings snapshot places Karnali Yaks first with 4 points from two wins. Lumbini Lions and Chitwan Rhinos each have 2 points after one match, while Janakpur Bolts and Sudur Paschim Royals also have 2 points after two matches [4]. The table shows T = 0 and N/R = 0 for every team in that snapshot [4]. It does not directly state the general points rule, tie-break method, NRR calculation method or playoff-qualification mapping, so this page makes no qualification forecast. See the NPL points table for the displayed standings, and the NPL season overview for the broader competition context.
Not in the checked 32-fixture dataset used for this checked release. Every fixture is assigned to Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground in Kirtipur, Nepal [1]. A later schedule change would need to be checked against the updated match listing.
Yes, in these checked sources. The schedule uses the expanded name, while CAN uses TU International Cricket Ground for the ground in Kirtipur, Kathmandu [1][2]. CAN’s additional names, Home of Nepal Cricket and Kirtipur Cricket Ground, are aliases rather than separate NPL venues [2].
CAN displays “15,000+” in its ground information [2]. That is retained as a listed capacity only. It does not confirm ticket availability, a fixed seating plan, admission limits or expected attendance for an individual NPL match.
The evidence confirms Kirtipur, Kathmandu as the destination context and provides the schedule’s local start-time pattern. It does not confirm gates, prices, parking, public transport, bag rules or other entry arrangements. Check current organizer or venue instructions before travelling.
Use the NPL schedule and results page for fixture dates, local times, statuses and match links. The NPL news and match updates archive is the site’s dated editorial context, not a claim that this venue page is an automatic news feed.
No. The checked evidence does not establish a current pitch report, weather outlook, facility-condition update or event-day operating plan. The venue identity and CAN’s listed ground fields are supported; unverified operational details remain unknown.
This page uses the venue evidence checked on 30 October 2026 at 6:32:30 PM IST / 6:47:30 PM NPT. The schedule, standings and venue details are checked snapshots, not automatic live feeds. Individual claims are kept separate from the ground information and fixture cards.
Factual cards and tables use only the checked source register for this page. Unknown fields remain unavailable.
