If you are hoping to buy tickets for a group, you may wish to set up a Family & Friends group in order to choose adjacent seats, should the total number of seats you wish to purchase exceed an individual's limit.  

The Family and Friends function allows you to link your Lord's account to those of your Family and Friends (up to a maximum of four accounts in a group). The leader of the Family & Friends group can purchase tickets on behalf of those in the group, using the combined allocation of the whole group.

The importation or consumption of any alcoholic drinks into these areas shall not be permitted. If you are interested in seating in these areas, please do select these areas when purchasing tickets. Please note that these areas are not strictly reserved for family groups but for all ticket holders who would prefer to watch cricket in an alcohol-free environment.

If you wish to sit in an Alcohol-Free area, but there does not appear to be any availability, please do call Club Services on 0207 432 1000, who may be able to assist. 

All tickets purchased for matches in 2026 will be accessible via the Lord’s App four weeks prior to match day.

The Lord’s App is currently undergoing enhancements for the 2026 season. As a result, match tickets are not yet available to download. We will notify all ticket holders via email as soon as tickets are ready to download, along with instructions on how to do so.

Lord’s has a wide range of seating available for ambulant and disabled ticket holders.  

We are pleased to provide one free ticket for any guest that requires a companion or assistant to accompany them on match day, and we will reduce your ticket price category to Category D.  

For more details on facilities at Lord’s, please review this webpage: Accessibility | Lord's (lords.org) or email accessibility.tickets@mcc.org.uk  

Tickets for Day 5 of the two men's Test matches will be made available to purchase on a first-come, first-served basis, via tickets.lords.org at a later date. Please keep an eye on email communications from the Club regarding these tickets. 

We accept all major debit and credit cards, including American Express.
