The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 officially got underway on February 6, marking the return of one of cricket’s most watched global spectacles. Co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka, the tournament features 20 teams competing for supremacy in the shortest and most explosive format of the game.
While thrilling contests and high-octane clashes are expected on the field, the T20 World Cup is equally about the spectacle off it. From vibrant stadium atmospheres to cutting-edge broadcasts, the tournament promises fans a complete entertainment package.
