ICC T20 World Cup 2026 Live Stream, Schedule, & Squad

The tenth edition of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 begins on February 07, with Sri Lanka and India as co-hosts. The first match of the event will be between Pakistan and the Netherlands at the Sinhalese Sports Club in Sri Lanka. The final game of the event will be played on March 08, 2026. Mobilecric-HD brings all the live streaming details about how and where to watch T20 World Cup 2026 online on mobile and desktop for free.

OVERVIEW

Four Groups featuring five teams make it one of the biggest T20 tournaments of all time. The 20 teams will battle to be crowned the World Champions of 2026. The event features 55 T20I matches played across Sri Lanka and India.

The group stage matches for Groups A and B will be hosted by Sri Lanka, while Group C and D will be hosted by India. Due to political influence and amid the India-Pakistan clash, the green shirts will play all their matches on Sri Lankan soil.

On January 24, 2026, the International Cricket Council (ICC) officially announced that Scotland would replace Bangladesh in the upcoming 2026 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. The decision followed the Bangladesh Cricket Board’s (BCB) refusal to participate in the tournament as scheduled, citing security concerns about their group-stage matches in India.

At every ICC event, every cricket fan’s eye is on the biggest arch-rivals, Pakistan and India. This year again, both teams are in the same group so they will play more than once in the event. The IND vs PAK (Group A) match of the T20 World Cup 2026 will be played on February 15 at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. The game will start on 6:30 PM PKT/7:00 PM IST or 1:30 PM GMT.
