The full schedule for the ICC Women\u2019s T20 World Cup 2026 has been confirmed following the conclusion of the ICC Women\u2019s T20 World Cup Qualifier in Nepal last month \u2013 officially completing the 12\u2011team line\u2011up for what promises to be a landmark summer of women\u2019s cricket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Joining tournament hosts England are Bangladesh, Ireland, the Netherlands and Scotland, who each secured their place after an intense qualification campaign that showcased the strength and depth of the women\u2019s global game. It also marks a historic moment for the European nations as they account for a third of the competing teams in this year\u2019s tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A tantalising home nations match up now awaits in the group stages, with England set to take on Scotland at Headingley on 20 June, marking the first time the two countries will meet at either a women\u2019s or men\u2019s World Cup staged on English soil. The box-office fixture is expected to draw huge crowds, with Scottish stars including Kathryn and Sarah Bryce and Abtaha Maqsood taking on the tournament hosts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ireland kick off their World Cup campaign with an exciting all-Celtic clash at Old Trafford, as they face Scotland on 13 June. A trip to the south coast follows as they take on England at the Hampshire Bowl on 16 June as part of a thrilling double-header featuring current World Cup holders, New Zealand, and Sri Lanka earlier on the same day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having gone unbeaten in the qualifiers, Bangladesh will be looking to make their mark in Group 2 having been a regular presence at ICC Women\u2019s T20 World Cups in recent years. Tough tests await them, including Australia at Headingley on 17 June, and an in-form India on 25 June at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Netherlands make their maiden appearance at an ICC Women\u2019s T20 World Cup, with a squad featuring exciting talent such as Yorkshire\u2019s Sterre Kallis, who will test her skills on the global stage against world-class opposition, including group stage match ups with India at Headingley on 17 June and Australia on 20 June at the Hampshire Bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The qualifying quartet now join England, Australia, India, Pakistan, New Zealand, South Africa, Sri Lanka and the West Indies on the global stage from 12 June until 5 July across England and Wales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
