The 2027 ICC Cricket World Cup will be the 14th edition of the Cricket World Cup, a quadrennial One Day International (ODI) cricket tournament contested by men's national teams and organised by the International Cricket Council (ICC). It is scheduled to be played in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia in October and November 2027. [1] This will be the second time that South Africa and Zimbabwe will have co-hosted the tournament, after the 2003 edition, while Namibia will host it for the first time. The tournament will expand to 14 teams, [2] and will have the same format that was used during the 2003 edition. [3] Australia are the defending champions, having defeated India in the final of the previous edition.

Qualification

South Africa and Zimbabwe as co-hosts along with the top eight teams in the ICC ODI rankings as of 31 March 2027 [4] will qualify directly for the competition, while the remaining four spots will be decided through global qualifier tournaments. [4] Although Namibia will co-host the competition for the first time, they will not be guaranteed a spot because they are not a full ICC member, and as a result, they will have to go through the standard qualification pathway.
