2027 World Cup Schedule

ICC Will Unveil The Expanded 2027 Men Cricket World Cup Schedule Soon

The ICC and Cricket South Africa are expected to unveil the 2027 Men’s Cricket World Cup schedule on October 1, alongside opening registration for a ticket ballot; tickets will not be immediately available for purchase. South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia will co-host the expanded 14-team tournament, expected to run from October to November, with the final reported for November 21; the official dates are still to be confirmed. South Africa and Zimbabwe qualify automatically as hosts, while eight places are allocated through ODI rankings and four more through a qualifying tournament; Namibia must qualify, and Bangladesh is in line for a spot despite ranking ninth because South Africa’s host place affects the allocation. The new format begins with a round-robin contest among the three lowest-ranked qualifiers, followed by two groups and a Super Seven stage to determine the semifinalists. The West Indies are among the notable teams currently outside the automatic qualification places.
