India is prepared to co-host the Men's T20 World Cup 2026 with Sri Lanka. Similar to the 2025 Women's ODI World Cup, Pakistan will not visit India because of political tensions between the countries and will play all their matches in Sri Lanka.
The prominent T20 event is expected to take place between March and April next year. As per NDTV sources, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has submitted a proposed schedule for the tournament to the ICC.
A significant update is the proposal involving five cities, with all games anticipated to occur in Tier 1 cities.
The final is expected to be held at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. It's notable that Ahmedabad has previously been the venue for several IPL finals and the 2023 Men's ODI World Cup final.
Regarding Pakistan, the ICC is working on selecting a single city in Sri Lanka to host all of their matches.
