If you searched for the Asia Cup schedule: the next men’s Asia Cup is reported for 2027, not 2026, and it is not officially confirmed. India’s own 2026-27 calendar is better covered: the BCCI announced 22 international home matches, and India are in New Zealand until 1 December. This is as of 24 October 2026.

Is there an Asia Cup in 2026?
We did not find a men’s Asia Cup scheduled for 2026. The 2025 edition was announced with India as host. MyKhel reported on 5 July 2026 that the next Asia Cup will be a 50-over event in Bangladesh, with a tentative window of 18 June to 4 July 2027 and six teams over 13 matches. It also said the ACC’s formal confirmation was still pending. Treat those dates as provisional.
India cricket schedule 2026-27, series by series
1. India in New Zealand (now)
India are on tour with five T20Is (22 Oct to 1 Nov), five ODIs (4 to 15 Nov) and two Tests (19 Nov to 1 Dec). India won the first T20I by 4 wickets on 22 October and lead the series 1-0 (Cricinfo, India.com). Our full guide to this tour has squads and timings.
2. BCCI international home season
The BCCI released fixtures for 22 international matches across 17 cities. The West Indies series has already finished by now, based on the schedule.
| Series | Dates | Matches | Venues |
|---|---|---|---|
| West Indies in India | 27 Sep to 17 Oct 2026 | 3 ODIs, 5 T20Is | Trivandrum, Guwahati, New Chandigarh, Lucknow, Ranchi, Indore, Hyderabad, Bengaluru |
| Sri Lanka in India | 13 to 27 Dec 2026 | 3 ODIs, 3 T20Is | Delhi, Bengaluru, Ahmedabad, Rajkot, Cuttack, Pune |
| Zimbabwe in India | 3 to 9 Jan 2027 | 3 ODIs | Kolkata, Hyderabad, Mumbai |
| Australia in India (Border-Gavaskar Trophy) | 21 Jan to 3 Mar 2027 | 5 Tests | Nagpur, Chennai, Guwahati, Ranchi, Ahmedabad |
The BCCI listing gives start times for each match, mostly 2:00 PM for ODIs, 7:00 PM for T20Is and around 9:30 AM for Tests. We did not confirm a time zone note on the page, so these appear to be local Indian times.
3. Domestic cricket
The BCCI also announced a domestic home season of 1,788 matches. We did not collect the individual dates, so see the BCCI site for Ranji Trophy and other tournaments.
What we could not confirm
- Names in India’s squads for the New Zealand ODIs and Tests. A 21 October listing mentions separate squads with Shubman Gill as Test captain, but we did not verify the names.
- A confirmed date and venue for the 2027 Asia Cup.
- India’s tours after March 2027 and any ICC event dates. We did not find a verified list, so we have left them out.
- IPL 2027 dates.
Where to follow official updates
- BCCI (bcci.tv) for India fixtures and squads.
- ICC (icc-cricket.com) for global events.
- The Asian Cricket Council for Asia Cup announcements.
Reading the home season
The home season is packed. After the West Indies, the Sri Lanka white-ball series comes in December, Zimbabwe visits in January for three ODIs, and then Australia arrive for the biggest red-ball series of the year. The Border-Gavaskar Trophy has five Tests spread over six weeks, so expect it to dominate the winter calendar.
Tip
Dates on the BCCI list are the planned ones. Venues and times can be changed by the board, so confirm closer to the match.
The headline: no Asia Cup in 2026, an Asia Cup rumoured for mid-2027, and a busy home season ahead. Last checked 24 October 2026.
