The most likely future 2nd-largest cricket stadium is the planned 80,000-seat international cricket stadium in Bengaluru’s Anekal/Surya City area , which recent reports say is set to become India’s second-largest after the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

Quick Scoop

  • Reports from May and June 2026 say Karnataka is developing a new cricket stadium in Bengaluru with 80,000 seats.
  • Those reports describe it as India’s second-largest cricket stadium once completed.
  • The project is being linked to the Anekal / Surya Nagar / Bommasandra area, depending on the report, and is still under development.

Why this one

The reason this venue stands out is simple: its stated capacity is larger than the other widely reported future projects, such as the 1,00,000-capacity Navi Mumbai proposal , which would actually be larger if completed as planned.

So, on the basis of the most recent public reporting, Bengaluru’s new stadium is being described as the current frontrunner for second place , but the ranking could still change if another bigger project finishes first.

Bottom line

If you mean the stadium most commonly reported today as becoming the second- largest , the answer is Bengaluru’s upcoming 80,000-seat stadium. If you mean which project could ultimately rank second after all future stadiums are built , the answer is less certain because the Navi Mumbai 100,000-seat plan could overtake it.
