The New Zealand cricket team toured India in January 2026 to play the India cricket team. The tour consisted of three One Day International (ODI) and five Twenty20 Internationals (T20I) matches. The T20I series formed part of both teams' preparation ahead of the 2026 Men's T20 World Cup tournament. In June 2025, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed the fixtures for the tour, as a part of the 2025–26 home international season.
As a result of the 3rd ODI, New Zealand won their first ODI series in Indian soil.
