Navi UPI has partnered with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) as their Official UPI Partner for IPL 2025. This partnership gives Navi UPI users an exclusive 24-hour early access window to book tickets for RCB’s home matches, allowing them to secure their spots before general sales begin.
As part of this partnership, Navi UPI users will have priority access to RCB home match tickets before general sales:
- For the first four matches, early access for Navi UPI users starts at 11 AM on March 18, 2025 while public sales open at 11 AM on March 19, 2025
- For the remaining three matches, ticket sales will go live later in the season, with Navi UPI users once again getting early access 24 hours before the general public.
