Cricket’s 2026 calendar has already delivered a men’s T20 World Cup, but the year’s back half is just as packed with major tournaments across formats and continents.
Tournaments Already Completed
The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka, wrapped up in early March with an Indian title win, covered fully in our T20 World Cup 2026 recap. The ICC Women’s T20 World Cup followed in June-July in England and Wales, part of a landmark year for the women’s game.
Currently Underway

Still to Come

A Year Without a Men’s Asia Cup
One notable absence from the 2026 calendar is a men’s Asia Cup, with the next edition not scheduled until 2027 in the ODI format. Instead, 2026 has focused on Associate-nation qualifiers feeding into that tournament.
