The ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 will feature a total of 12 teams divided into two groups. They will play 33 matches together in what will be the biggest edition of the tournament to date.
England will host the event and will be keen to replicate their 2009 triumph on home soil. Not only do they have home advantage, but they also arrive in good form, having recently enjoyed series wins over India and defending champions New Zealand.
Sophie Molineux’s Australia will once again arrive as favorite. Having won six of the last nine editions of the T20 World Cup, Australia will undoubtedly be the team to beat, alongside India, who are coming off a 50-over in the World Cup last year and will be looking to replicate the men’s team’s T20 World Cup triumph earlier this year.
Elsewhere, the likes of South Africa and the West Indies will be keen to penetrate deeper into the tournament, or 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 team has managed so far in the ongoing England-New Zealand Test series.
