The host nations for every major ICC men’s white-ball event between 2024 and 2031 have been confirmed. Co-hosting will be common as the game seeks to extend its reach beyond its traditional borders, enabling the United States and Namibia to host a big cricket tournament for the first time.
The US will co-host the 2024 T20 World Cup with the West Indies while Namibia will co-host the 2027 Men’s Cricket World Cup with South Africa and Zimbabwe.
Pakistan will stage an ICC event for the first time since the 1996 World Cup when they host the 2025 Champions Trophy.
In 2026, India and Sri Lanka will host the Men’s T20 World Cup. The following major event after the 2027 World Cup will be the T20 World Cup which will be played in Australia and New Zealand in 2028 and 12 months later India will host the Champions Trophy.
In 2030, England will share T20 World Cup hosting duties with Ireland and Scotland. It will be the first time since 1999 that Ireland and Scotland have hosted a major global cricket event.
The final scheduled event, in October/November 2031, will be the Men’s Cricket World Cup, played in India and Bangladesh.
