The best indoor cricket in Lahore comes with a wide pricing spectrum, ranging from Rs 1,500 to over Rs 4,000 per hour depending on the venue and facilities. Whether you’re looking for a budget-friendly weekday session or a premium cricket experience, Lahore’s indoor cricket scene has grown significantly in recent years.
Lahore does not stop for rain. Or heat. Or 3AM. It just moves the game indoors. The city now has more than 30 indoor and rooftop cricket venues — spread across DHA, Gulberg, Johar Town, Iqbal Town, Raiwind Road, Multan Road, and Bedian Road. Most run 24 hours. The cheapest slots start at Rs 1,500 an hour. The premium end goes up to Rs 4,000 for a full court at a central Lahore venue with imported turf and proper dimensions.
The problem is that most venue listings are just address dumps. This guide fixes that. Venues are grouped by tier, then by area. Each entry tells you what actually matters: price, surface, court size, 24-hour availability, and who it is best suited for.

Indoor vs Rooftop Cricket: They Are Not the Same Thing
Lahore listings mix these two formats constantly. They are not the same:
Indoor cricket is fully enclosed — ground-level, four walls, roof, synthetic or matted surface. The game happens regardless of weather. It is the right choice for summer bookings, focused practice sessions, and anyone who wants conditions that do not change between your first over and your last.
Rooftop cricket happens on a building’s top floor or terrace — usually with side netting but open to the sky. The pitch is exposed to wind and heat. In January it is excellent. In July it is a health risk.
The rule is straightforward: book indoor for May through September. Book rooftop October through March. Any venue that does not tell you this upfront does not know its own product.
Premium Indoor Cricket Arenas in Lahore (Rs 2,000–4,000 per Hour)
If the Rs 1,500 budget tier is where you get a court and a pitch, this is where you get a proper cricket environment — dimensions that allow real shot-making, surfaces that do not punish your knees, and enough ceiling height that a pull shot does not end the session.
Falcon Arena — The Best Indoor Cricket in Lahore Right Now
Falcon Arena makes every other indoor venue feel small. The numbers: 115 feet long, 60 feet wide, 37 feet high. Imported synthetic turf. Two courts. The ceiling alone makes this place — most indoor venues in Lahore cap out at 25 to 28 feet, which kills any lofted play. At 37 feet, you can actually play cricket rather than a cramped corridor version of it.
- Location: FC4J+3C, Natha Singh Wala, Lahore | Phone: 0322 1455179
- Price: Rs 2,000–3,500 per hour depending on court and time slot
- Hours: Open 24 hours
- Amenities: Floodlights, imported turf, parking, drinks, restrooms, football also available
- Best for: Competitive matches, groups of 10 to 22 players, anyone who has been frustrated by low ceilings elsewhere
Block Q Indoor Cricket, Gulberg 2 — Best Premium Option in Central Lahore
If you are based in Gulberg, Garden Town, or Model Town and you want the closest high-quality venue without driving to Natha Singh Wala, Block Q is the answer. Rs 4,000 for a full court per hour is the steepest rate in the city — but central Lahore location has a value of its own for players who factor in fuel and travel time.
- Location: Block Q, Gulberg 2, Lahore
- Price: Rs 4,000 per hour for a full court
- Tip: Phone quotes at this venue tend to run higher than face-to-face rates. Call to confirm, then negotiate in person.
SK Sports Arena — Best Venue for Tape-Ball Tournaments
SK Sports Arena runs one of the better half-ground and full-ground setups in Lahore for organised tape-ball cricket. The half-court rate at Rs 2,500 per hour works well for casual games; the Rs 4,000 full-ground booking is where it makes sense for proper matches or corporate tournaments that need proper dimensions and a presentable setup.
- Price: Rs 2,500/hr (half), Rs 4,000/hr (full ground)
- Best for: Tape-ball league play, corporate cricket events, groups of 14 to 22
CricBox Indoor Cricket, PECO Road — Best Mid-Range Option for Gulshan-e-Ravi and Township
CricBox sits at Rs 2,000 per hour — between the budget tier and the premium venues. It is 24 hours, centrally located for the Gulshan-e-Ravi, Township, and PECO Road catchment, and also has a rooftop option on the same premises if you want to switch formats for winter sessions.
- Location: NADRA Mega Centre, PECO Road, Sector B-1, Lahore | Phone: 0300 7722543
- Price: Rs 2,000 per hour
- Hours: Open 24 hours

Budget Indoor Cricket in Lahore — Rs 1,500 per Hour
Rs 1,500 per hour is the market rate for budget indoor cricket in Lahore. The venues below all hit this price point and the overwhelming majority are open 24 hours. What separates them is not price — it is location, surface quality, and court size. Pick the one closest to your players.
AIO Sports Arena, DHA Rahbar Phase 2
The best budget indoor cricket option inside DHA. Clean, accessible, 24 hours. The pitch is well-maintained for the price point. If you are playing with friends spread across DHA Phase 1 to 6, this is the neutral ground that works for everyone.
- Location: Block P, DHA Rahbar Phase 2, Lahore
- Price: Rs 1,500 per hour | Open 24 hours
- Amenities: Floodlights, parking, refreshments, restrooms
5th Generation Sports Complex, DHA Phase 8
DHA Phase 7 and 8 players would otherwise have to drive to Rahbar or out of DHA entirely. 5th Gen fixes that. Rs 1,500, 24 hours, inside DHA Phase 8.
- Location: Sector Y, DHA Phase 8, Lahore
- Price: Rs 1,500 per hour | Open 24 hours
- Amenities: Floodlights, drinks, parking
Maximus Sports Arena, Raiwind Road
The go-to venue for players in southern Lahore — LDA Avenue, Bahria Town, Raiwind. Located opposite Ali Fatima Hospital so it is easy to find. One of the better-lit budget venues in the city.
- Location: Main Raiwind Road, opposite Ali Fatima Hospital | Phone: 0304 4386929
- Price: Rs 1,500–2,000 per hour | Open 24 hours
- Amenities: Cricket and football, floodlights, parking, restrooms
Legacy Arena, Allama Iqbal Town
The most recommended venue for late-night cricket in the Iqbal Town, Sabzazar, and Gulshan-e-Ravi zone. 24 hours, Rs 1,500, and consistent enough that regular groups book the same slot weekly.
- Location: Bari Studios, Zeenat Block, Allama Iqbal Town | Phone: 0336 4422883
- Price: Rs 1,500 per hour | Open 24 hours
Big Bash Boom Indoor Arena, Multan Road
Named loudly, priced quietly. Rs 1,500, 24 hours, and positioned on Multan Road near ShahFreed Darbar which makes it the natural choice for anyone in Sabzazar, Multan Road, and the surrounding housing schemes.
- Location: 58-A Multan Road, near ShahFreed Darbar, Sabzazar | Phone: 0327 0771157
- Price: Rs 1,500 per hour | Open 24 hours
- Amenities: Cricket and football, floodlights, parking, drinks, restrooms
Play Zone, Johar Town
Johar Town’s most convenient budget indoor cricket venue. L Block Road puts it within easy reach of Canal Road, Muslim Town, and Faisal Town. If this one is booked, Maidaan Sports Arena is 400 metres away on the same road.
- Location: 257 L Block Road, Johar Town | Phone: 0331 7776024
- Price: Rs 1,500 per hour | Open 24 hours
Maidaan Sports Arena, Johar Town
Play Zone and Maidaan are effectively one decision. Both on L Block, both Rs 1,500, both 24 hours. When one is full — which happens regularly on Thursday and Friday evenings — the other is a 3-minute walk away. Always call both numbers before leaving the house.
- Location: 252 Block L, Johar Town | Phone: 0325 1181822
- Price: Rs 1,500 per hour | Open 24 hours
Play On, Model Town
Model Town, Garden Town, and Township players have had limited options. Play On fills the gap. 24 hours, Rs 1,500, and located in R Block which is accessible without fighting through Model Town’s inner streets.
- Location: R Block, Model Town | Phone: 0302 8804976
- Price: Rs 1,500 per hour | Open 24 hours
York Indoor, Bedian Road Cantt
Cantt has historically been poorly served for indoor cricket. York Indoor on Bedian Road is the most reliable option in this corridor — 24 hours, Rs 1,500, and positioned near the Rah-e-Danish School which is an easy landmark.
- Location: E-6 Street, near Rah-e-Danish School, Nadirabad, Bedian Road Cantt | Phone: 0300 7863290
- Price: Rs 1,500 per hour | Open 24 hours
Arena 360, Expo Avenue Society
The best option for players coming in from Canal Road, Expo Centre, or Johar Town Phase 2. Clean facility, modern equipment, 24 hours. Slightly less crowded than the Johar Town L Block venues.
- Location: Expo Avenue Society, Lahore
- Price: Rs 1,500 per hour | Open 24 hours
Straight Drive Indoor Sports, Ring Road
Harbanspura, Shahdara, and the Ring Road corridor rarely get a mention in Lahore cricket venue guides. Straight Drive is the exception — 24 hours, consistently operational, and less crowded than city-centre venues because it is off most people’s radar.
- Location: Service Lane Ring Road, near Quaid-e-Azam Road, Harbanspura | Phone: 0321 8806039
- Price: Rs 1,500 per hour | Open 24 hours

Best Rooftop Cricket in Lahore
Rooftop cricket in Lahore is a winter sport. October to March, it is genuinely excellent — cool air, floodlit terrace, and a fraction of the cost of some indoor venues. From May to September, it is not. These are the best venues for the right season.
Pavilion Top Cricket, Engineers Town
The most complete rooftop cricket experience in Lahore. Floodlights, parking, restrooms, and refreshments — the basics that most rooftop venues skip. If you are organising a group event and want everyone to be comfortable, this is the rooftop pick.
- Location: Plot 17, Block B1, Engineers Town | Phone: 0324 7090830 | thepavilion.pk
- Amenities: Floodlights, parking, refreshments, restrooms
Al Rafy Rooftop Arena, Al-Faisal Town
Well-maintained nets, accessible from Faisal Town and Muslim Town, and one of the more consistently reviewed rooftop options in Lahore’s middle belt. Good for regular winter evening sessions.
- Location: Zarrar Shaheed Road, Al-Faisal Town, Lahore
Rooftop Cricket Shahdara — Sky Sports Arena
North Lahore is underserved for cricket venues of any kind. Sky Sports Arena in Shahdara fills the gap for Shadbagh and Shahdara Town players wanting a floodlit rooftop session without driving to the centre.
- Location: Bara Dari Road, Shahdara Town | Phone: 0318 6430150

What to Actually Ask Before You Book
Every venue website says ‘state of the art facilities.’ None of them define what that means. These are the four questions worth asking before you commit:
Ceiling Height
This is the most overlooked spec in Lahore indoor cricket. Under 25 feet: you cannot play lofted shots without ending the session early. 25 to 30 feet: playable but limiting. 30 feet and above: proper cricket. Falcon Arena’s 37-foot ceiling is the benchmark. Most budget venues are in the 22 to 26 foot range — fine for casual tapeball, limiting for serious cricket.
Surface: What Is Actually Under Your Feet
Budget venues often use locally produced matting over cement. It is playable but harder on the knees over long sessions. Premium venues use imported synthetic turf with proper pile height — closer to an actual outfield feel. Ask specifically: is the surface imported or local? Is it turf or matting? The answer tells you more about the venue than any marketing description.
Price: What the Quoted Rate Actually Covers
Always ask what is included in the hourly rate — balls, stumps, bats. Most venues provide basic equipment but not always. Ask whether the rate changes on weekends. Saturday evening slots at some Lahore venues run Rs 200 to Rs 500 higher than the Monday to Friday rate. Get the total price for your group size, confirmed, before you leave home.
Booking: Call or Walk-In
Most Lahore indoor cricket venues do not support online booking. NowVPlay (nowvplay.com) lists a growing number of venues with app-based reservations — check there first. For venues not on any platform, call directly. For 24-hour venues, walk-in is possible outside peak hours. Thursday to Saturday evenings are peak: if you want a weekend slot at a popular venue, call at least 48 hours ahead.
Pricing Guide: What to Expect in 2026

- Mid-range: Rs 1,800 to Rs 2,500 — CricBox Indoor, The Dugout (Saturday rate), Maximus upper end
- Premium: Rs 3,000 to Rs 4,000 — Block Q Gulberg, SK Sports Arena full ground, Falcon Arena peak hours
- Weekend premium: expect 15 to 20% above the standard rate at popular venues on Friday and Saturday evenings

FAQs: Indoor Cricket in Lahore 2026
What is the best indoor cricket venue in Lahore?
For court quality and size, Falcon Arena in Natha Singh Wala. 115 feet long, 37 feet high, imported synthetic turf, 24 hours. Nothing else in Lahore matches it on dimensions. For players who need to stay inside DHA, AIO Sports Arena in DHA Rahbar Phase 2 at Rs 1,500 per hour is the best budget option within DHA boundaries.
How much does indoor cricket cost per hour in Lahore?
Rs 1,500 per hour is the standard budget rate — it covers the majority of 24-hour venues across the city. Mid-range venues run Rs 1,800 to Rs 2,500. Full-court premium bookings at Block Q Gulberg or SK Sports Arena go up to Rs 4,000 per hour. Weekend evening slots at most venues run 15 to 20% higher than the weekday rate.
Which Lahore indoor cricket venues are open 24 hours?
Most of them. Maximus Sports Arena, Legacy Arena, AIO Sports Arena, Big Bash Boom, Arena 360, Straight Drive Indoor Sports, Play Zone Johar Town, Maidaan Arena, Play On Model Town, York Indoor, CricBox Indoor Cricket, and Lahore Indoor Arena on Raiwind Road all confirm 24-hour operation. Call ahead on public holidays as hours occasionally change.
What is the difference between indoor and rooftop cricket in Lahore?
Indoor is fully enclosed, ground-level, and weather-proof. Rooftop is on a building’s terrace — open to sky, wind, and heat. Rooftop is excellent from October to March. From May to September, it is not a viable option. Any venue that does not explain this distinction when you ask is worth treating with some caution.
Can I book indoor cricket in Lahore online?
NowVPlay (nowvplay.com) supports app and web booking for a growing number of Lahore venues. For venues not on that platform — which is still the majority — booking is by phone. For popular venues on Thursday to Saturday evenings, call at least 48 hours ahead. Most 24-hour venues accept walk-ins during off-peak hours without prior booking.
Is there indoor cricket in DHA Lahore?
Yes. AIO Sports Arena in DHA Rahbar Phase 2 and 5th Generation Sports Complex in DHA Phase 8 are both inside DHA. Falcon Arena is just outside DHA near Natha Singh Wala — roughly 10 minutes from DHA Phase 6 — and is the better court by a significant margin if the drive is acceptable.
