The men's T20 World Cup has become one of the biggest prizes in world cricket since its inception in 2007.
India are the defending champions, and will be looking for the threepeat after winning in 2024 and 2026, beating New Zealand in the final of the 2026 T20 World Cup.
The tournament's 2028 edition will be held in Australia and New Zealand

T20 World Cup times
The 2028 T20 World Cup fixtures will have a variety of start times, with Australia and New Zealand being 8-10 hours ahead of the UK.
Twenty20 matches, in which each team bats for 20 overs, generally last around four hours.
T20 World Cup venues
The venues for the 2028 T20 World Cup are yet to be confirmed, though it is expected that some of the sport's most iconic venues will be included, such as the MCG, SCG, the Gabba and Eden Park.
T20 World Cup format
The T20 World Cup was expanded to include 20 teams in 2024 and the format was successful then and in 2026, so it will remain the same for 2028.
The tournament begins with a group stage featuring four groups of five teams with the top two in each section advancing to the Super 8 stage.
The Super 8 stage, like the group stage, is played on a round-robin basis with two groups of four teams.
The top two in each section progress to the semi-finals and the winners of those matches meet in the T20 World Cup final.

The schedule for the 2028 T20 World Cup is yet to be confirmed.
T20 World Cup history
There were six different winners of the first nine T20 World Cups with England, the West Indies and India each lifting the trophy twice.
The 2024 champions India beat Pakistan in the inaugural final in 2007 and the West Indies triumphed in Sri Lanka in 2012 and in India in 2016.
India's 2026 victory means they are the only team to have won three titles.
England's victories came in 2010, in the Caribbean, and 2022, in Australia, while Pakistan (2009), Sri Lanka (2014) and Australia (2021) are the other teams to have been crowned champions.
