The 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup will be the ninth edition of the T20 World Cup, a biennial Twenty20 International (T20I) tournament contested by men's national teams and organised by the International Cricket Council (ICC). It is scheduled to be co-hosted by the West Indies and the United States from 1 June to 29 June 2024. It will be the first ICC World Cup tournament to feature matches played in the United States, and in any other country other than the West Indies in the Americas. England are the defending champions, having defeated Pakistan in the final of the previous edition.
The tournament will be contested by a record 20 teams, an expansion from 16 teams at the 2022 tournament and with 55 matches to be played it will be the biggest cricket tournament that the ICC has ever held. In addition to the two hosts, the top eight teams from the previous tournament automatically qualified, as did the next two teams in the ICC Men's T20I Team Rankings. The remaining eight teams were decided via a regional qualification process; Canada and Uganda qualified for the men's T20 World Cup for the first time, while the United States is participating for the first time by virtue of being co-host.
Format
The 20 qualifying teams will be divided into four groups of five teams; the top two teams in each group will advance to the Super 8 round. In this stage, the qualifying teams will be split into two groups of four; the top two teams from each group will qualify for the knockout stage, which will consist of two semi-finals and a final.
Host selection
In November 2021, the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced that the 2024 Men's T20 World Cup would be played in the United States and the West Indies. A joint bid was submitted by Cricket West Indies and USA Cricket following two years of preparation, forming part of a strategic partnership between the two associations. The ICC's publicly stated hope is that hosting a major competition for the first time will put the USA on the global cricketing map.
The top eight teams from the 2022 tournament and the two hosts qualified automatically for the tournament. The remaining two automatic qualification places were taken by the best-ranked teams in the ICC Men's T20I Team Rankings which had not already secured a place in the finals, as of 14 November 2022.
The eight remaining places were filled via the ICC's regional qualifiers, consisting of two teams from Africa, Asia, and Europe, along with one team each from the Americas and the East Asia-Pacific groups. In May 2022, the ICC confirmed the sub-regional qualification pathways for Europe, East Asia-Pacific, and Africa.
In May 2023, CWI began a thorough bidding process for countries in the Caribbean region and the United States willing to host the matches of the World Cup.
In July 2023, the ICC shortlisted four venues in the United States, which included Lauderhill, Florida (Central Broward Park), Morrisville, North Carolina (Church Street Park), Grand Prairie, Texas (Grand Prairie Stadium) and The Bronx, New York—which would use a temporary stadium at Van Cortlandt Park. Residents of the Bronx objected to the Van Cortlandt Park stadium, citing that it would restrict access to the park for an extended period of time, and also showed concerns for its environmental impact, and questioned the viability of the event. On 20 September 2023, the ICC announced that Grand Prairie, New York, and Lauderhill would serve as the three U.S. host cities during the tournament, with a 34,000 seat temporary stadium being constructed at Eisenhower Park in Nassau County, New York. Central Broward Park and Grand Prairie Stadium will also be expanded with temporary grandstands and hospitality areas to double their capacity during the tournament.
In November 2023, it was reported that Trinidad's Queen's Park Oval, the country's most considerable cricket ground, would not be hosting any World Cup matches and that fixtures would be moved to the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in San Fernando. Nigel Camacho, the president of the Queen's Park Cricket Club, stated that the venue would instead most likely host warm-up matches before the start of the main tournament. Also, the Government of Dominica decided to withdraw its venue, Windsor Park, from hosting any matches of the World Cup citing their inability to complete the infrastructural development of the venue before the tournament commences.
In December 2023, a delegation of representatives from the ICC and CWI undertook a second inspection of the confirmed World Cup host countries in the Caribbean and host cities in the United States, also finalizing the fixtures for the tournament.
On 17 January 2024, the ICC unveiled the proposed design of the temporary Long Island stadium—Nassau County International Cricket Stadium—which is expected to be ready by the end of May 2024.
The group stage will consist of four groups of five teams, played as a single round-robin format in which the top two teams in each group will progress to the Super 8 stage.
After the group stage, the top two teams in each group will be placed into two groups of four teams in the Super 8 stage. This will be played as a single round-robin, with the top two teams in each group advancing to the knockout stage. If they advance from the group stage, seeded teams will be placed in pre-determined positions, regardless of whether they finish first or second in their group.
