The International Cricket Council (ICC) have confirmed the dates and the venues for the ICC Women’s World Cup 2026, and the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground will host the final of the mega event on July 5. The forthcoming edition, the largest ever Women’s T20 World Cup event with 12 teams participating, will kick off on June 12 and will be played across a total of seven venues.
Lord’s aside, the games will be held at Old Trafford, Headingley, Edgbaston, Bristol, The Oval and The Hampshire Bowl.
Eight teams – hosts England, Australia, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa, Sri Lanka and West Indies – have already secured their spots for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026. Four additional teams will join them through the Qualifier scheduled next year. The 12 teams will be split into two groups of six for the group stage.
"The confirmation of venues represents a defining moment as we build towards the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026. This tournament will bring together the world’s finest players in a celebration of skill, spirit and sportsmanship," said ICC Chair Jay Shah.
"The United Kingdom's rich diversity has always shown passionate support for all teams, something we witnessed so memorably at past events. The sell-out Women’s Cricket World Cup final at Lord’s in 2017 remains a landmark in the rise of the women’s game, and I cannot think of a more fitting stage for the final."
"As we turn our focus to preparing for the tournament, we are excited by the promise of thrilling T20 action that will not only captivate fans here but also serve as a showcase for cricket’s return on the Olympic stage in Los Angeles 2028."
The 2026 T20 World Cup will be the 10th edition of the competition. The 2024 edition was won by New Zealand, who triumphed over South Africa in the final in Dubai.
