The ICC T20 Women’s World Cup 2026 will feature a total of 12 teams divided into two groups. Together they will play 33 games in what will be the largest edition of the tournament to date.
England will be the hosts and will be keen to replicate their 2009 triumph at home. Not only do they have home advantage, but they also arrive in good form, having recently claimed series wins over India and defending champions New Zealand.
Sophie Molineux’s Australia will once again arrive as favourites. Having won six of the last nine editions of the T20 World Cup, Australia will undoubtedly be the team to beat, along with India, who just won the 50-over World Cup last year and will be looking to replicate the men’s team’s triumph in the T20 World Cup earlier this year.
Elsewhere, countries such as South Africa and the West Indies will be keen to advance further in the tournament, potentially even upsetting the heavyweights. Defending champions New Zealand, who pulled off a stunning upset two years ago, are also hoping to do better on English soil than their men’s team has achieved so far in the ongoing Test series between England and New Zealand.
