ICC T20 World Cup 2026 Super 8 Schedule: Full Match List, Dates & Venues

India’s campaign has stood out in Group A as they have convincingly gone past every other opposition, including arch-rivals Pakistan and shown their domination in one of the greatest rivalry in cricket. India Super 8 matches are scheduled against South Africa, West Indies, and either Australia or Zimbabwe, based on which team qualifies.
The concluding stage of the group stage is going to offer some intriguing contests as T20 giants like Australia, England and New Zealand are yet to secure a place in the Super 8 and desperately need to win their remaining fixture to confirm a straightforward qualification.
The Super 8 phase of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 will be contested across two pools, Group 1 and Group 2, with each group featuring four teams that advance from the league stage. The top two sides from each of the four first-round groups move into the Super 8s, after which the competition shifts to a pre-seeded format determined by the ICC before the tournament began.
ICC T20 World Cup Super 8 Schedule 2026
Ahead of the Super 8 T20 World Cup, the ICC pre-assigned seedings to eight teams based on the T20I rankings. As per this format, Group 1 consists of Australia, India, South Africa, and the West Indies, while Group 2 comprises England, New Zealand, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. Interestingly, the group-stage positions do not influence Super 8 placement for these sides, as long as these teams reach the Super 8.
As these eight teams were pre-decided, in case any of them misses out on qualification, then the team that replaces it occupies the same Super 8 group position, for example if an unseeded side like the USA or Zimbabwe advances in place of Pakistan or Australia, it would take over their assigned spot in Group 2 or Group 1, respectively. Following the Super 8 round, only the top two teams from each group will progress to the semi-finals. Let's have a look at the probable T20 World Cup Super 8 schedule 2026:
