West Indies Cricket Schedule 2026-27: Dates & Times

The West Indies men’s cricket team schedule for 2026-27 currently contains 10 verified internationals: two Tests, three ODIs and five T20Is. The two Tests against Pakistan are complete. Eight confirmed white-ball matches in India run from 27 September to 17 October 2026.

This is a deliberately exact calendar, not a copied Future Tours Programme list. A planned Bangladesh Test series and possible 2027 events remain status notes until the responsible boards or the ICC publish match-ready dates, venues and teams.

West Indies’ verified 2026-27 series

Series	Dates	Matches	Formats	Status / host
Pakistan tour of the West Indies	25 July-6 August 2026	2	Test	Completed; West Indies
West Indies tour of India	27 September-17 October 2026	8	3 ODIs, 5 T20Is	Confirmed; India

The generated tables below use each match’s real end time to decide whether it belongs under Upcoming matches or Recent results. Official results override the clock, so a completed Test does not remain in the future merely because its scheduled five-day window had not elapsed.

The Pakistan Test series finished 1-1

West Indies won the first Test at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy by 90 runs. Pakistan responded at Queen’s Park Oval with an eight-wicket win, levelling the two-match series 1-1.

Both results come from Cricket West Indies’ official series archive and remain visible as the team’s latest senior internationals. They also appear on the Pakistan cricket schedule through the same two controlled match records. The Pakistan vs West Indies rivalry hub connects them to the 2025 white-ball tour and format-separated all-time records.

India hosts three ODIs and five T20Is

West Indies’ next confirmed match is the first ODI against India in Thiruvananthapuram on 27 September. Further ODIs follow in Guwahati on 30 September and New Chandigarh on 3 October.

The five-match T20I series runs from 6 to 17 October in Lucknow, Ranchi, Indore, Hyderabad and Bengaluru. BCCI’s official home-season release supplies all eight dates, venues and local starts. The India cricket schedule uses the same source-linked records.

The India series overlaps with cricket at the Asian Games, but that does not change the confirmed bilateral dates. This page does not guess which players either side will select; squad announcements belong to a later verified update.

The Bangladesh Tests still need exact details

Bangladesh and current ICC World Test Championship material identify a two-Test West Indies tour during this cycle. BCB has discussed an October-November window, while secondary schedule pages publish specific dates with venues still marked TBD.

No matching final CWI or BCB itinerary was found in this check. The two Tests therefore stay outside the fixture table until a board release confirms their dates and grounds. The Bangladesh cricket schedule applies the same evidence threshold.

No 2027 tournament match is assigned yet

The 2027 Cricket World Cup hub covers the confirmed host countries, format and planning status. West Indies-specific World Cup matches will appear here only after the ICC confirms the team’s place and publishes an assigned fixture list.

Other 2027 series found on generic FTP pages also remain excluded when no current CWI, opposing-board or ICC release supplies exact match dates and venues. A broad planning window is useful context, but it is not a confirmed fixture.

Times are shown in PKT

The eight India starts are converted from Indian Standard Time to Pakistan Standard Time. The recent Pakistan Tests retain their checked 7 p.m. PKT starts, converted from 10 a.m. Atlantic Standard Time.

If a future official release gives a date but no start, the table will say the time is unannounced. The cricket abbreviations guide explains labels such as TBC and TBD. Readers comparing formats can also use the guides to Test cricket, 50-over ODI cricket and innings across formats.

What this page excludes

This schedule covers the senior West Indies men’s international team. It excludes West Indies Women, academy and under-19 teams, domestic cricket, warm-ups and the Caribbean Premier League.

That distinction matters because the official CWI fixtures page combines several teams and competitions in one feed. This permanent page keeps the senior men’s calendar separate instead of presenting the next CPL game as the West Indies national team’s next match.

How the permanent URL stays current

The URL remains /west-indies-cricket-team-schedule/. When the visible calendar moves to a new useful period, the title, H1, metadata and body replace 2026-27; old years are not appended.

Completed matches move to Recent results only after an official source confirms the outcome. Routine checks update dataVerifiedAt; dateModified changes after a material fixture or editorial update, not merely because a source was opened again.
