World Cup 2027 schedule reveal LIVE updates: India's road through Africa takes shape as ICC unveils full itinerary

The global governing body for cricket is officially releasing the full fixture list for the upcoming fifty-over global championship. Hosted across South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia, the tournament marks a return to the African continent after a span of twenty-four years, featuring twelve different venues and a total of fifty-seven matches.

Australia enters the upcoming competition holding the title of defending champions.

The tournament structure introduces several major changes, expanding the field from ten to fourteen competing national sides. The previous single-league format is replaced by a preliminary Super Series that narrows the field down to twelve, followed by two groups of six, a Super 7 round, and finally the semi-finals.
