The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad and the Eden Gardens in Kolkata will host the T20 World Cup 2026 semifinals. The location of the championship game has not been formally announced.
India and Sri Lanka will co-host the competition. The 2011 ODI World Cup, in which Bangladesh served as the third host nation, was the last event in which both boards served as co-hosts. Eight locations were recently chosen by the International Cricket Council to host the matches in February and March of the following year.
In addition to Ahmedabad and Kolkata, matches will be held in Mumbai, Delhi, and Chennai, according to Cricbuzz.
The SLC has selected Colombo and Kandy as the two host cities in Sri Lanka. Games will be held in Colombo by the RPS and the SCC. Whether or if one of the finalists is from Pakistan will determine where the summit clash takes place. It will be held at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium if they don’t make it.
If either Sri Lanka or Pakistan advance to the semi-final, the game will take place in Colombo. Both games would be played in India if neither of the two teams advance to the round of four. The game will take place in Colombo rather than any Indian location if the Men in Green advance to the final.
The 20-team competition will follow the same format as the 20-over competition in 2024, according to a press statement issued by the International Cricket Council last month. Each of the four groups will consist of five teams. The 13 Test-playing countries will be joined by Canada, the Netherlands, the United Arab Emirates, Nepal, Oman, and Namibia. Italy will also be participating in the global event for the first time.
The Super Eights phase, which consists of two groups with four teams in each group, will come after the group round. India defeated South Africa in the final to win the previous tournament, which was held in the USA and the West Indies. Sri Lanka did not advance to the next round after finishing third in their group. In the upcoming days, the ICC is anticipated to release the schedule and groupings, according to Cricbuzz.
