The 13th edition of the prestigious tournament will kick off with hosts India facing Sri Lanka in Bengaluru, while defending champions Australia begin their campaign against rivals New Zealand on October 1 in Indore. Matches will be held across five cities—Bengaluru, Vizag, Indore, Guwahati and Colombo.
The final will be played on November 2 in either Bengaluru or Colombo. Warm-up matches begin on September 24. The most anticipated match of any ICC event—that between India and Pakistan—will be played on October 5 in Colombo.

The ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 will be played in a round-robin cum knockout format. During the round-robin stage, all eight participating teams will play one match against each of the seven other teams. The four teams finishing at the top of the points table after this stage will book their place in the semi-finals.
