The 2026 International cricket season took place from April to September 2026. This calendar included men's Test, men's One Day International (ODI) and men's Twenty20 International (T20I) matches (between full member teams), women's Test, women's One Day International (ODI) and women's Twenty20 International (T20I) matches, as well as some other significant series. In addition to the matches shown here, a number of other T20I series involving associate nations were played during this period.
In June 2026, the International Cricket Council (ICC) updated the Classification of Official Cricket regulations, confirming that teams competing in the 2024–2026 Cricket World Cup Challenge League framework will be eligible to play other sanctioned, non-tournament 50-over games with official List A status during their competition cycle.
The 2026 Women's T20 World Cup was hosted in England in June and July 2026.
The cricket at the 2026 Asian Games for both Men's and Women's, took place in Japan in September and October 2026.
