The 2026 ICC Men's T20 World Cup Europe Sub-regional Qualifier A was a cricket tournament that formed part of the qualification process for the 2028 Men's T20 World Cup. It was played in Cyprus from 16 to 23 May 2026.
The finalists of the tournament advanced to the regional final, where they were joined by Scotland who were given a bye after having participated in the previous T20 World Cup, and three other teams from sub-regional qualifiers B and C.
Channel Island rivals Jersey and Guernsey won their groups to advance to the final. Jersey won the final by four-wickets, chasing down a target of 140 with two overs to spare and in doing so made it through to the final round of qualifying for the T20 World Cup for the sixth time.
Initially, only the winner of the tournament was set to advance to the regional final. However, after a review of the regional qualification pathway in August 2026, the top two teams were granted places in the regional final.
