ICC Women's Twenty20 World Cup 2026: full fixtures announced
The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Tuesday (February 24, 2026) unveiled the complete schedule for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026, featuring all 12 participating teams.
Hosts England will square off against Sri Lanka in the opening fixture on June 12. The 10th edition of the competition will take place from June 12 to July 5 this year, with 12 teams vying for the title in what is the biggest field in the tournament’s history so far, as per the ICC website.
Bangladesh, Ireland, Scotland and the Netherlands were the final four teams to book their spot at the event, progressing via the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier in Nepal last month.
The four qualifying sides now join the likes of defending champions New Zealand, hosts and winners of the inaugural edition in 2009, England, 2016 winners, West Indies, current ODI World Cup winners in India, and six-time tournament winners Australia. Hosts England take on Sri Lanka in the tournament opener on June 12, while Ireland and Scotland begin their campaign against each other in an all-European clash at Old Trafford on June 13.
When England face off against Scotland at Headingley on June 20, it will mark the first time that the two teams meet at an ICC event on English turf.
Ireland and Scotland are placed in Group B, along with England, New Zealand, Sri Lanka and the West Indies. Meanwhile, Group A features Australia, India, Pakistan, South Africa, Bangladesh and the Netherlands.
