The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Tuesday announced the full fixtures for the upcoming Women's T20 World Cup 2026, set to take place in England from June 12 to July 5. The schedule was out last year but the full fixtures have now been confirmed, following the completion of the T20 World Cup Qualifier in Nepal last month, as all 12 teams have now been confirmed.
India, Pakistan, Australia and South Africa were put in Group A, and now, Bangladesh and the Netherlands have joined them from the qualifiers. Meanwhile, the other group features the West Indies, England, New Zealand, and Sri Lanka, with qualifying teams Ireland and Scotland joining them in Group B.

Meanwhile, hosts England will meet Sri Lanka in the tournament opener on June 12 at Edgbaston. Australia and South Africa will kick off the other group on June 13 at the Old Trafford, while India meet Pakistan on June 14, Sunday at Edgbaston. The two semifinals will take place on June 30 and July 2 at the Oval, while the final will be held at the Lord's Cricket Ground on July 5.
Maiden appearance for Netherlands, first meeting between England-Scotland on English soil
The Netherlands are set to make their maiden appearance at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, with a squad featuring exciting talent like Yorkshire’s Sterre Kallis, who will test herself against world-class sides.
