T20 World Cup 2026 Schedule Announcement: The ICC will finally announce the full schedule for the T20 World Cup 2026 on Tuesday, November 25. The premier tournament will be hosted jointly by India and Sri Lanka in February-March next year. The announcement event will be live on both TV and online.
Amid all the speculations, India and Pakistan are expected to be in the same group again as arch-rivals set to unfold a new chapter after the controversial outings in the Asia Cup 2025. India defeated Pakistan thrice, including in the final, to bag their record ninth Asia Cup title. India are the defending T20 WC champions, having lifted their second title with a victory over South Africa in the final last year.
After winning the World Cup last year, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja announced their retirement from T20Is as the trio bowed out on the ultimate high.

Sri Lanka will also get three venues for the 20-team competition. The final of the competition will likely take place at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, while one semi-final is expected to be hosted in Mumbai. However, the plan will change if Pakistan make it to the knockouts, and in that case, the game will go ahead in Colombo.
