|---|---|

Global T20 Championship 2026 Format
The schedule shows a simple round-robin and knockout structure.
League Stage
There are six teams.
Every team plays the other five teams once.
That gives:
6 teams × 5 matches each ÷ 2 = 15 league matches
Each team therefore plays five league fixtures.
Semifinals
The top four teams advance to the semifinals.
According to the released fixture graphics:
- Rank 1 plays Rank 3
- Rank 2 plays Rank 4
This differs from the common 1-vs-4 and 2-vs-3 format, so the published tournament graphic should be followed unless organisers announce a later change.
Final
The winners of both semifinals meet on 5 November.
