The complete schedule for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 featuring all 12 participating teams is now out. Hosts England will square off against Sri Lanka in the opening fixture on 12 June.

The 10th edition of the competition will take place from 12 June to 5 July this year, with 12 teams vying for the title in what is the biggest field in the tournament’s history so far.

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 12 June, while Ireland and Scotland begin their campaign against each other in an all-European clash at Old Trafford on 13 June.

When England face off against Scotland at Headingley on 20 June, 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 West Indies. Meanwhile, Group A features Australia, India, Pakistan and South Africa, Bangladesh and the Netherlands.

The Dutch side will be making their ICC Women’s T20 World Cup debut and open their campaign against Bangladesh, who remained unbeaten in the qualifying tournament. The final will be played at the hallowed Lord’s Cricket Ground in London on 5 July.
