ICC Cricket World Cup Schedule

The ICC Cricket World Cup Schedule tracks every match in the International Cricket Council's flagship one-day international tournament, a global championship contested by the top men's national teams in the 50-over format. The competition is held every four years under the auspices of the ICC, the sport's world governing body, and ranks among the most-watched events in sports. When the official fixture list for an edition is released by the ICC, this calendar populates automatically with each game's scheduled date, start time in the relevant local time zone, the two participating sides, and the venue. Each entry in the calendar represents a single World Cup match. The tournament format runs from an opening group stage — the number of teams and the group structure vary from edition to edition as the ICC revises the format — through to the knockout semi-finals and the final. Representative teams include cricketing powers such as India, Australia, England, Pakistan, and New Zealand, alongside emerging full-member nations and qualifiers from the ICC's associate pathway. Venues are spread across the host country or countries; past tournaments have unfolded in stadiums from Mumbai to Melbourne, and from Lord's to Lahore. The next edition is scheduled for October and November 2027 in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia, with fixtures to be confirmed by the ICC well ahead of time. Before that, the calendar contains only a placeholder entry reading 'Next ICC Cricket World Cup Schedule – date TBA'; this placeholder gets replaced with the full match programme as soon as the draw and schedule are made public. Cricket followers, sports journalists covering the tournament, and broadcast production teams can use this smart calendar feed — free to subscribe — to keep the full match schedule integrated into Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or Outlook. The feed becomes a single source of truth for match start times, eliminating the need to cross-reference ICC press releases or broadcaster schedules. Because each match entry carries the venue name and the two teams, it serves as a quick reference for those planning to attend matches in person or follow the broadcast coverage in multiple time zones. The calendar updates regularly. On non-match days it refreshes once daily to incorporate any ICC schedule adjustments, while on match days the update frequency increases to capture last-minute toss delays, rain interruptions, or reserve day activations. This ensures that any rescheduling — such as a group match moved due to weather or a change in start time for broadcast — appears automatically in the calendar without manual intervention.
