Bristol to be a host venue for Women’s T20 World Cup 2026
The Women’s T20 World Cup will be coming to Bristol in 2026.
The County Ground in Ashley Down is one of seven host venues across England for the World Cup taking place between June 12 and July 5.
The matches will be the first women’s international tournament fixtures held in Bristol since the 50-over World Cup in 2017.
Gloucestershire Cricket chief executive officer, Neil Priscott, said: “We are overjoyed to be hosting ICC Women’s T20 World Cup fixtures in 2026, further cementing Bristol’s place as one of the very best international venues in England and Wales.
“The Bristol County Ground is a historic venue which has supported every step of the way the evolution of the women’s professional game over the last decade…
“The awarding of these fixtures is a massive boost for the city of Bristol and the diverse cross-section of sports fans who live here, many of whom have enjoyed watching the Lionesses at Ashton Gate and, in 2025, will get the chance to watch the Women’s Rugby World Cup in the city next year as well.”
