Following the conclusion of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup Qualifier in Nepal last month, the complete schedule for the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026 has been confirmed, thereby finalising the 12-team lineup for what looks to be a historic summer of women's cricket.
Following a rigorous qualifying campaign that demonstrated the depth and strength of the women's world game, Bangladesh, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Scotland have all confirmed their spots to join tournament hosts England. A third of the teams competing in this year's event are from European countries, so it's also a momentous occasion for them.
