The ICC T20 World Cup will be played in 2026, with India and Sri Lanka co-hosting the ICC tournament. India are the defending champions of the ICC T20 World Cup after having won it under Rohit Sharma's leadership in 2024.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India has picked a list of five venues across the Indian subcontinent as the major venues for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2026. As per reports from The Indian Express, the top BCCI officials in a meeting decided that the World Cup will be played over fewer cities, with the same venue getting a minimum of 5-6 matches.
The BCCI has hence picked Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi, Eden Gardens, Kolkata, MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, and the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai as the venues for the World Cup.
ICC had issued a verdict on the Semi-final venues
The ICC has made it clear to the BCCI that if Sri Lanka qualify for the knockouts of the competition, then their match will be hosted in their nation itself and not on Indian soil. The BCCI too seemed to have accepted the proposal.
Sri Lanka to host games over three different venues
The Lankan Cricket Board would be hosting the matches in the ICC T20 World Cup over three venues; however, the venues are yet to be revealed. Likely, the grounds in Pallekele, Colombo, and Dambulla might be cited as the three venues most ideal for T20 cricket.
Even if Pakistan reach the semi-finals or finals of the competition, then it would be shifted to Sri Lanka instead of India, much like the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy final was held in Dubai, despite Pakistan being the official hosts.
