Associate international cricket in 2026

The 2026 Associate international cricket season includes series starting from approximately April to September 2026.[1] All official 20-over matches between associate members of the ICC are eligible to have full men's Twenty20 International or women's Twenty20 International (T20I) status, as the International Cricket Council (ICC) granted T20I status to matches between all of its members from 1 July 2018 (women's teams) and 1 January 2019 (men's teams). The season includes all T20I cricket series mostly involving ICC Associate members, that are played in addition to series covered in International cricket in 2026.
