Group A: India, Pakistan, Netherlands, Namibia, USA

Group B: Sri Lanka, Australia, Zimbabwe, Ireland, Oman

T20 World Cup 2026 Venues

The tournament will be spread across multiple venues in both India and Sri Lanka, with major stadiums such as the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Eden Gardens in Kolkata, Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, and venues in Colombo hosting key matches. The final, as well as the opening match, is slated to be held at the Narendra Modi Stadium, the largest cricket stadium globally. A notable aspect of this tournament is that the India vs Pakistan group stage match will take place in Sri Lanka rather than India, reflecting ongoing political considerations and ensuring the fixture's continuation in a neutral venue.
