Pakistan vs Australia Schedule, Squads & Ticket Prices 2026

The Australia cricket team will visit Pakistan in early 2026 as both teams are scheduled to play a three-match T20 International series that has significant importance as the series will be the perfect match practice just a week before the ICC T20 World Cup 2026. The series is scheduled for late January, with the matches expected to be played on January 29, January 31 and February 1, respectively.

The series will see Pakistan hosting Australia, with Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, which is one of the best cricket stadiums in Pakistan, emerging as the venue for all three encounters. As this series is just days before the start of the T20 World Cup 2026, which gets underway on February 7 in India and Sri Lanka, the timing of this series is perfect to make the final changes and a preparation ground for each player to remain in form and head into the tournament with some momentum.

For Pakistan, the home conditions provide an ideal chance to test their bench and address any gaps against a top-quality opponent, while Australia will try to adapt quickly and prepare for subcontinental pitches.
