The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Tuesday announced the full schedule for the Women’s 2026 T20 World Cup, set to be played from June 12 to July 5 in England. Featuring 12 teams, the biggest field in the tournament’s history, the event marks the 10th edition of the competition.

Women's T20 World Cup 2026 will begin on June 12

Hosts England will kick off proceedings against Sri Lanka on June 12 at Edgbaston, while the final will be played at the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground in London on July 5.

India, placed in Group A, will begin their campaign against Pakistan at Edgbaston on June 14.

Bangladesh, Ireland, Scotland and the Netherlands were the final four teams to seal qualification through the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier in Nepal last month. The Netherlands will be making their T20 World Cup debut. The quartet join defending champions New Zealand, inaugural winners England (2009), 2016 champions West Indies, current ODI World Cup holders India, and six-time champions Australia.

India are grouped with Australia, South Africa, Bangladesh and the Netherlands in Group A, while Group B comprises England, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Ireland, Scotland and the West Indies.

“The release of the schedule for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 is an important milestone in the lead-up to this premier global sporting event,” ICC CEO Sanjog Gupta said.
