The ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 will feature a total of 12 teams divided into two groups. Together, they will play 33 matches in what will be the biggest edition of the tournament to date.
England will host and will be keen to repeat their 2009 triumph on home soil. Not only do they have home advantage, but they also arrive in good form having recently secured series wins over both India and defending champions New Zealand.
Sophie Molineux’s Australia come back as favourites. Having won six of the last nine T20 World Cup editions, Australia will undoubtedly be the team to beat along with India, who are fresh off a 50-over World Cup win last year and will be looking to repeat the men’s T20 World Cup triumph earlier this year.
Elsewhere, the likes of South Africa and West Indies will be keen to get deeper into the tournament and potentially even upset the heavyweights. Defending champions New Zealand, who pulled off a remarkable upset two years ago, will also be hoping to do better on English soil than their men’s side have managed so far in the ongoing Test series between England and New Zealand.
