ICC Women's World Cup 2025: Dates, Schedule, Format, Venues, Prize Money, Squads, Live Streaming And More

The 13th edition of the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup is set to begin on Sept. 30. India and Sri Lanka are the co-hosts of the tournament. India is hosting the ICC showpiece event for the fourth time, with the team having come close to lifting the trophy on two previous occasions, the latest being in 2017 when the team, led by Mithali Raj, lost a thrilling final to England at Lord's. The tournament will comprise 31 matches to be played across 34 days.

The first match of the tournament will be played on Tuesday, Sept. 30 and the final is scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 2. All matches will commence at 3 p.m. IST except the New Zealand vs England match on Oct. 26, which will start at 11 a.m. IST.

As hosts, India secured automatic qualification and will be joined by the top five teams from the Women’s Championship rankings: Australia, New Zealand, England, Sri Lanka, and South Africa. 

The remaining places were contested at the World Cup Qualifier in Lahore, where Pakistan and Bangladesh emerged successfully, completing the eight-team roster.

A total of 31 matches will take place in a round-robin format, with the four highest-ranked teams advancing to the knockout stages.

As each team will play seven matches in the group stage, winning five out of those contests will likely guarantee a berth in the semis.

The champions will be awarded $4.48 million (Rs 39.7 crore), while the runners-up are set to receive $2.24 million (Rs 19.9 crore).
