The 12 teams will be split into two groups of six for the group stage, followed by the knockout rounds and finals.<\/p>\n

The 2026 Women\u2019s T20 World Cup will mark the milestone 10th edition of the tournament, which began in 2009.<\/p>\n

The most recent edition, hosted by Bangladesh in the UAE in 2024, saw New Zealand claim its first-ever title, defeating South Africa by 32 runs in the final.<\/p>\n

That tournament was held between two cities — Dubai and Sharjah. The 2026 will see that roster expand to seven premier venues in England – Headingley (Leeds), Old Trafford (Manchester), Edgbaston (Birmingham), Bristol County Ground (Bristol), Hampshire Bowl (Southampton), The Oval and Lord\u2019s (London).,<\/p>\n

OLD TRAFFORD (MANCHESTER)<\/h4>\n

Old Trafford is a name one usually associates with the famous home of Manchester United Football Club in Greater Manchester, England. But it is also the name of an iconic and historic cricketing venue in the same city which opened in 1857. The venue has been the home of the Lancashire Cricket Club since 1864.<\/p>\n

The venue can support 26,000 fans for international games. That expands when the space is given out for concerts to over 50,000.<\/p>\n

Old Trafford is the second oldest Test venue in England after The Oval. It is also a very popular concert venue in this part of England. Most famously, Old Trafford hosted Ariana Grande\u2019s One Love Manchester Concert after the deadly suicide bombing in her show at the Manchester Arena in 2019. It was attended by over 55,000 people and the proceeds went to the families of the victims.<\/p>\n
