The ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 semi-finals are set for March 4 and 5, featuring top teams from the Super 8 stage in a high-stakes knockout phase hosted across India and Sri Lanka.

Semi-Final 1 is scheduled for Wednesday, March 4 at 7:00 PM IST, with a floating venue policy between Eden Gardens in Kolkata or R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Confirmed participants include unbeaten South Africa (Super 8 Group 1 winners) facing either New Zealand or Pakistan—the latter needing a big win over Sri Lanka by 65 runs or chasing in 13 overs to qualify on net run rate. Pakistan's involvement shifts the match to Colombo; otherwise, it stays in Kolkata.

Semi-Final 2 follows on Thursday, March 5 at 7:00 PM IST at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, pitting England (unbeaten Super 8 Group 2 winners) against the winner of India vs West Indies on March 1—a direct knockout at Eden Gardens. The victor advances, while the loser is eliminated, heightening pressure on co-host India amid its strong tournament form.

Live streaming in India is available on JioHotstar, with TV broadcasts on Star Sports Network; global viewers can access via ICC's official platforms or regional broadcasters like Sky Sports (UK) and Willow TV (US). Tickets went on sale recently, with refunds for venue shifts under the floating policy.

The final looms on March 8 at 7:00 PM IST, primarily at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad unless Pakistan qualifies—moving it to Colombo for neutrality. This setup ensures logistical fairness amid qualification uncertainties as of late February 2026.
