How the mock auction works
Every franchise starts with a purse of ₹130 Cr, the purse reported for the 2027 auction. Players come up in sets, marquee names first, then batters, wicketkeepers, all-rounders, fast bowlers, spinners and uncapped players. Each player opens at a base price. Tap Bid to raise; every new bid resets the 10-second clock. When it hits zero the player is sold to the highest bidder, or goes unsold.
Quick mode auctions the top 70 players and takes about ten minutes. Full mode puts every player under the hammer, and your squad has to stay within the real limits.

Tips to win the auction
- Keep money for the end. Uncapped and second-set players often go at base price after the big purses run dry.
- Watch the overseas count. You can only buy 8 overseas players; spend those slots on match-winners.
- Balance beats stars. The rating looks at your best XI: you need a wicketkeeper and at least five bowling options.
- Read the purse bars. The coloured bars show which rival is rich and likely to keep bidding.
Play as your team
Every franchise page shows its current squad, 2027 trades and overseas slots, with a button to start the mock auction as that team.
IPL auction game FAQ
What is the IPL auction game?
It is a free mock IPL auction you play in the browser. You pick one of the ten franchises, and players come up one by one with a base price. You and nine AI owners raise the paddle; when the 10-second timer runs out, the highest bidder buys the player. At the end you get a squad rating and a poster to share.
Is this the official IPL auction?
No. This is an unofficial fan game and is not linked to the BCCI or the IPL. The real IPL 2027 mini auction is reported for 16 December 2026 in Goa.
Can I play the IPL auction game with friends?
Rooms with friends, joined with a room code or a WhatsApp link, are coming soon. Right now you can play solo against nine AI owners.
Which players are in the game?
Every player from the ten IPL 2026 squads, as if all of them went back into the auction, mega-auction style. Players who withdrew from IPL 2026 or have retired are left out. After the 17 November retention deadline we add a 2027 mini-auction mode with the real released players.
How do bid increments work?
The game follows the increments used by the IPL auctioneer: ₹5 lakh steps up to ₹1 crore, ₹10 lakh up to ₹2 crore and ₹20 lakh after that. These match every price paid at the IPL 2026 auction; the BCCI does not publish the steps.
Do I need to sign up or download an app?
No. There is no login and no app. It runs in any phone browser and uses very little data.
