How To Watch ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026 Live? Check Broadcasters, TV Channels And Live Streaming Details

The ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026 is set to begin on June 12 with hosts England taking on Sri Lanka in the tournament opener in Birmingham. The 10th edition of the marquee event will be played in England and Wales and will feature 12 teams for the first time. It will conclude on July 5. 

The 12 teams have been divided into two groups of six teams each. Group 1 consists of Australia, India, Bangladesh, Netherlands, Pakistan and South Africa while Group 2 comprises England, Ireland, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Scotland and West Indies. 

The Aussies, who have won six of the last nine tournaments, will be eager to displace reigning champions New Zealand for a seventh title, but that is no longer a yawn-inducing formality. The Kiwis themselves are a formidable unit, and then there are India, who landed their maiden global title last year in the 50-over World Cup. England, strong as ever in home conditions, and South Africa, finalists in the last three ICC events, would be no pushovers either.

If you are someone wondering how to watch the T20 World Cup live, you have landed yourself at the right spot. The ICC has now confirmed the global broadcast and streaming plans for the event. 

Hosted across England and Wales, the tournament starts on June 12 and ends with the final on July 5. For the first time, 12 teams will compete with each other to win the title. As part of its effort to maximise accessibility, the ICC has expanded coverage across 14 languages and partnered with multiple free-to-air platforms around the world.
