International Cricket Schedule 2027: Confirmed Calendar

The 2027 international cricket schedule on this page currently contains 54 exact fixtures announced by BCCI, ECB, Cricket South Africa, Cricket Australia or New Zealand Cricket and supported by ICC reporting. It covers 41 men’s matches and 13 women’s matches across Tests, ODIs and T20Is. Three major ICC events are also listed by their confirmed windows even where teams or match dates are still unknown.

This is an evolving official-source calendar, not a claim that every international match in 2027 has already been announced. A Future Tours Programme window, media report or search snippet does not become an exact fixture here until the responsible board or tournament organizer confirms its date and venue.

Cricket Ireland has confirmed that Ireland Women will tour Zimbabwe in early 2027, while the Zimbabwe Women’s schedule carries the host-side context. Neither board has released match dates or venues, so the tour does not inflate the exact-fixture count.

Confirmed 2027 ICC event windows

Event	Confirmed dates or window	Host	What is still unannounced
ICC Women’s Champions Trophy 2027	14-28 February 2027	Sri Lanka	Match-by-match schedule, named venues and final playing conditions
ICC World Test Championship Final 2027	9-13 June 2027	The Oval, London	The two qualifying teams and start time
ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2027	October-November 2027	South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia	Exact dates, groups, fixtures, match allocations and final venue

The 2027 Cricket World Cup hub tracks that event’s 14-team format, qualification route and 12 announced venues. It does not repeat exact opening or final dates found in unofficial calendars because the ICC has not confirmed them.

2027 international fixtures by month

January

South Africa completes its home season with a Test against England from 3 to 7 January and three ODIs from 10 to 15 January; the South Africa cricket team schedule carries the complete 20-match home program. India hosts Zimbabwe for three ODIs from 3 to 9 January; the Zimbabwe cricket schedule connects those games to the team’s preceding Namibia and Australia blocks. India then begins a five-Test Border-Gavaskar series against Australia on 21 January. BCCI has confirmed every date, city and start time. New Zealand’s four-Test tour of Australia ends in Sydney on 8 January, followed by home ODIs and T20Is against Sri Lanka from 16 to 31 January. The complete New Zealand cricket schedule joins the home and away blocks, while the India cricket team schedule and Australia cricket team schedule provide the other teams’ full context.

February and March

New Zealand hosts Sri Lanka for Tests from 4 to 8 February and 12 to 16 February. The India-Australia Test series continues through 3 March. The inaugural ICC Women’s Champions Trophy has a confirmed 14-28 February window in Sri Lanka, but its match list is not yet official and therefore does not appear as invented fixture rows. The event hub tracks the six-team field, T20 format and announcement gaps. The Sri Lanka Women’s schedule holds the host context, while the New Zealand Women’s schedule explains why the White Ferns’ originally dated Australia tour is now postponed.

May and June

England hosts Pakistan for five men’s ODIs from 15 to 26 May. Their Pakistan vs England hub groups all five matches with the teams’ 2026 meetings and format-separated record. Bangladesh then plays a one-off men’s Test at Lord’s from 28 May to 1 June. Pakistan’s team-specific dates and PKT starts remain on the Pakistan cricket team schedule, while the England men’s schedule carries the host’s complete sequence through the September New Zealand series.

The World Test Championship 2025-27 hub tracks the official table, points-percentage rules and final status. The final follows at The Oval from 9 to 13 June. Its venue and dates are official; its teams cannot be known until the league standings determine the finalists. England’s men’s Ashes begins at Trent Bridge on 18 June, while the England Women’s schedule starts its multi-format Ashes with a Test at Headingley on 24 June.

July and August

The men’s Ashes runs across five Tests and is scheduled to finish at The Oval on 2 August. The women’s Ashes continues through July with three T20Is and three ODIs; the Australia Women’s schedule gives the touring side’s full calendar and flags its unresolved February conflict. Men’s and women’s fixtures stay clearly labelled in the match table so one series cannot be mistaken for the other.

September

England Men hosts New Zealand for three T20Is and five ODIs from 7 to 25 September. England Women hosts Bangladesh for three T20Is and three ODIs from 8 to 24 September; the Bangladesh Women’s schedule also records the visitors’ earlier Australia and New Zealand tours. New Zealand Cricket has published the men’s starts in NZT, and the ECB has published every England-hosted women’s start in local time, so both sets now show exact converted PKT times.

October and November

The ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup will be staged across South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia in October and November. The ICC has confirmed 12 venues, 14 teams and a 57-match format, but it has not yet released the exact fixture list. SportsMuntra will add match rows only when that official schedule arrives.

Months without a paragraph are not being labelled cricket-free. They simply do not yet have a major event or exact fixture set in this first verified release.

Men’s and women’s coverage in the same calendar

The year page includes both without merging their teams or records. A women’s Ashes fixture is attached to the England Women and Australia Women entities; a men’s Ashes Test belongs to the men’s teams. Gender remains a visible match field in the data even when two series use the same name.

This first release focuses on senior internationals and major ICC events. Youth pathways, Associate series, franchise leagues and domestic competitions will be added through their own clearly labelled calendar or event layers when official schedules and useful reader demand support them.

Exact fixture, event window or projection?

An exact fixture has named teams, a date, format, venue and official source. A confirmed event window has an organizer-approved date range but may not yet have teams or a match list. A projection comes from an FTP expectation, media report, database estimate or fan discussion and does not appear as a confirmed row.

All exact starts are displayed in PKT. If a board has announced the date and ground but not the start time, the calendar says “Time unannounced.” The cricket abbreviations guide explains TBC, TBD and other schedule labels.

How this calendar stays current

/cricket-schedule-2027/ is a dated archive. New officially confirmed 2027 fixtures can be added to it, and completed matches will move into recent results after their status and result are verified. When 2028 arrives, SportsMuntra will create a separate annual calendar and link the two; this page will not be overwritten as another year.

The calendar is checked weekly and more often when an official announcement lands or a listed match is within 90 days. A routine source check can advance the verification timestamp, while dateModified changes only after a material fixture or editorial update.
