The 2026 Women's T20 World Cup will be the tenth edition of the Women's T20 World Cup, a biennial Twenty20 International (T20I) tournament played by women's national teams and organised by International Cricket Council (ICC). It is scheduled to be hosted by England in 2026.

The tournament will be contested by 12 teams for the first time. New Zealand are the defending champions.

Background

Format

The 12 qualifying teams are divided into two groups of six teams; all the six teams in a group play with all the others – for a total of fifteen matches – and the top two teams in each group advance to the knockout stage.

Qualification

Main article: 2026 Women's T20 World Cup qualification

In July 2022, the ICC confirmed the qualification process for the tournament. The hosts, England along with the top five teams from the 2024 edition qualified automatically for the tournament. The remaining automatic qualification spot was taken by the best-ranked team in the ICC Women's T20I Team Rankings which had not already qualified, as of 20 October 2024. The four remaining places will be filled via the global qualifier, in which teams will advance from the regional qualifiers.
