What is India’s Cricket World Cup 2027 schedule?

When does the Cricket World Cup 2027 begin?

The ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup runs from 2 October to 21 November 2027 in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia. A three-team Super Series in Windhoek starts on 2 October; the group stage begins on 7 October.

ICC announced the schedule on 1 October 2026. The dates below are for the 2027 tournament.

What are India’s group-stage fixtures?

• 7 October 2027: India vs Australia — Cape Town.
• 10 October 2027: India vs Pakistan — Johannesburg.
• 14 October 2027: India vs Afghanistan — Tshwane.
• 17 October 2027: India vs Qualifier A — Bloemfontein.
• 24 October 2027: Zimbabwe vs India — Victoria Falls.

These are scheduled fixtures, not match results. Qualifier A remains the label used in ICC’s published fixture list.

Which teams are in India’s group?

Group A contains India, Australia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Zimbabwe and Qualifier A.

Group B contains New Zealand, South Africa, Sri Lanka, England, Bangladesh and Qualifier B.

When are the semi-finals and final?

The semi-finals are scheduled for 17 November in Cape Town and 18 November in Tshwane. The final is on 21 November in Johannesburg.

India’s later-stage participation depends on qualification. A pre-seeded position in the Super 7 schedule does not guarantee a place in that stage.
