Upcoming Cricket Matches in 2026: Complete schedule and fixtures
The next six months will be crucial for international cricket, with men's preparing for the 2027 World Cup and women's focusing on the T20 World Cup through a busy schedule of bilateral series.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 has come to an end, with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) successfully defending their title and becoming only the third franchise in tournament history to achieve the feat after Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (MI). Following another action-packed season, players will now shift their focus to international commitments and domestic competitions around the world.
The post-IPL calendar begins with Australia's tour of Pakistan, featuring a three-match ODI series. Meanwhile, red-ball cricket will take centre stage as New Zealand travel to England for a three-Test series. India will also return to action with a one-off Test against Afghanistan starting on June 06, followed by a white-ball series featuring a troika of One-Day Internationals.
Several IPL stars are also expected to participate in franchise leagues across the globe, including the T20 Blast and The Hundred in the United Kingdom, Major League Cricket in the United States, the Caribbean Premier League in the West Indies, the Lanka Premier League in Sri Lanka, the International League T20 in the UAE, and various domestic tournaments in their respective countries.
