2026 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Schedule, Fixtures, Groups, Tickets: All You Need to Know

2026 ICC Womens T20 World Cup Schedule: The full schedule for the 2026 ICC Womens T20 World Cup has been released, with England and Wales set to host 12 nations across 24 days of cricket next June. The tournament, which begins on June 12 with hosts England playing Sri Lanka under lights at Edgbaston, will culminate with a final at the game’s most storied venue—Lord’s—on July 5.

The 12-team structure remains familiar: eight automatic qualifiers have secured their spots, with four more to emerge via a global qualifying event next year. Among the early highlights, the clash between traditional rivals India and Pakistan is scheduled for June 14, a fixture likely to command global attention.

The tournament will criss-cross the country, showcasing women’s cricket at historic venues including Headingley, Old Trafford, Hampshire Bowl, and Bristol, with semifinals staged at The Oval. In both scale and symbolism, this marks a milestone edition.

Tournament director Beth Barrett-Wild described the World Cup as a moment to “rewrite the narrative about women’s cricket” and deliver not only a sporting spectacle but cultural change. “With every ball bowled and run scored,” she said, “fans will be contributing to lasting change.”

The defending champions, New Zealand, will be among the teams to watch, while tickets are already available via womens.t20worldcup.com for fans who have pre-registered.
