T20 World Cup 2026 Schedule: The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 began on February 7, ushering in a month-long cricketing spectacle across India and Sri Lanka with 20 teams vying for the coveted title. Defending champions India started their campaign on a positive note, registering a comfortable 29-run victory over the United States to set the tone early in the tournament. As in the previous edition, the competition follows a four-group format, with five teams in each group playing four matches apiece. Only the top two sides from every group advance to the Super Eights, making consistency and net run rate crucial from the outset.
Co-hosts India and Sri Lanka are staging the event across eight venues, blending iconic cricketing arenas with passionate fan bases. India’s matches are spread across five major cities — Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium, Kolkata’s Eden Gardens, Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium, Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium and Chennai’s M.A. Chidambaram Stadium. In Sri Lanka, games are being hosted at the R. Premadasa Stadium and SSC Cricket Ground in Colombo, along with the Pallekele Cricket Stadium in Kandy.
The group stage throws up several intriguing contests. Group A features India alongside Pakistan, USA, Netherlands and Namibia, while Group B includes Australia, Sri Lanka, Ireland, Zimbabwe and Oman. England headline Group C with West Indies, Scotland, Nepal and debutants Italy, underlining the tournament’s expanding global reach. Group D comprises New Zealand, South Africa, Afghanistan, Canada and the United Arab Emirates.
