Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about CricFansLive.
What is CricFansLive?+
CricFansLive (cricfans.in) is a free, ad-free cricket live score platform for IPL 2026. It provides real-time ball-by-ball scores, full scorecards, partnerships, fall of wickets, team standings with NRR, and match fixtures. Built by cricket fans, for cricket fans.
Is CricFansLive really ad-free?+
Yes, completely. Zero banner ads, zero popup ads, zero video ads, zero interstitials. Not "fewer ads" - literally zero. The page never reloads to serve ad impressions either, unlike other cricket score sites.
Why does the page never reload?+
Most cricket score sites (CricBuzz, Cricinfo) reload the entire page every ball to serve fresh ad impressions - roughly 240 reloads per innings. CricFansLive streams scores in real-time using Firebase, so the page loads once and stays updated. This saves your battery and data.
Where does CricFansLive get its data?+
All match data is powered by the Roanuz Cricket API, an official IPL data partner. This ensures accurate, real-time score data for every IPL 2026 match.
Which IPL teams are covered?+
All 10 IPL 2026 teams: Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Delhi Capitals (DC), Gujarat Titans (GT), Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), Mumbai Indians (MI), Punjab Kings (PBKS), Rajasthan Royals (RR), Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).
What features does CricFansLive offer?+
Ball-by-ball live scores with real-time updates, full batting and bowling scorecards, partnerships and fall of wickets, IPL points table with Net Run Rate, complete match fixtures with countdown timers, and a share feature for WhatsApp and X.
Is CricFansLive faster than CricBuzz?+
CricFansLive streams scores in real-time without page reloads, making the experience significantly faster. CricBuzz reloads the entire page every delivery which adds latency, downloads megabytes of ad scripts, and drains your battery.
Does CricFansLive have a mobile app?+
CricFansLive is a web app that works on any phone browser. No app download needed - just visit cricfans.in. It is optimized for mobile with fast loading and minimal data usage. You can add it to your home screen for an app-like experience.
Can I become a commentator on CricFansLive?+
Yes! CricFansLive is building the first fan-powered commentary platform. Fans can apply to write live commentary for their favorite IPL team. Apply at cricfans.in/apply - your voice, your passion, your team.
How is fan commentary different from CricBuzz commentary?+
CricBuzz commentary is written by employees at a media company - professional, sanitized, the same template for 15 years. Fan commentary on CricFansLive is written by actual fans - passionate, authentic, and real. When your team hits a six, the commentary reflects genuine excitement, not corporate template.
Is CricFansLive free to use?+
Yes, CricFansLive is completely free. No subscription, no premium tier, no hidden costs. And no ads.
Who built CricFansLive?+
CricFansLive is built by cricket fans who got fed up with ad-loaded live score pages. It is a project by Shopiator LLC. The mission is simple: give fans the live score experience they deserve - clean, fast, and fan-first.
