The 10th edition of the women’s T20 World Cup begins on June 12 when England take on Sri Lanka at Edgbaston.
England is hosting the tournament for the second time, having previously been the home of the inaugural women’s tournament in 2009. It’s the first women’s ICC event staged in the UK since the 2017 ODI World Cup.
The group stage runs until June 28, followed by semi-finals on June 30 and July 2 before the winner is crowned on July 5 at Lord’s.
The 2026 women’s T20 World Cup will be contested by 12 nations, up from 10 at the previous six events, split into two groups of six. The Netherlands have qualified for the first time, while Ireland have returned after missing out on the 2024 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates.
