How will Super Eight matches be played in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026?

Eight teams out of twenty will advance to the Super Eight round of the 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup from the first group stage, and will be divided into two groups of four. The International Cricket Council has designated in advance the top eight teams on the Twenty20 international ranking chart as seeded teams in the two Super Eight groups. If a team outside the eight seeds qualifies for the Super Eight phase, it will take the spot of the seeded team that failed to advance from its first-stage group. Each team will play three matches, one against each of the other teams in its group, in the Super Eight round. The top two teams from each group will advance to the semifinals, with the winners facing off against the runners-up of the opposite groups.
