The 2025 Women's World Cup will be held from September 30 to November 2 in five different venues across India and Sri Lanka - Bengaluru, Guwahati, Indore, Visakhapatnam and Colombo.
The mega event will begin with hosts India commencing their campaign on September 30 in Bengaluru. The first semi-final will either be played in Guwahati or Colombo on October 29 while Bengaluru will play host to the second semi-final on October 30. One of Bengaluru or Colombo will host the final three days later on November 2.
The eight teams that will participate in the World Cup are hosts India, Australia, England, South Africa, New Zealand, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh.
Following controversy regarding India's refusal to travel to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy earlier this year, it was revealed that the two countries would play their matches from ICC events (hosted by either of them) in neutral venues in the foreseeable future. While the Indian Men's team played their CT games in Dubai, the Pakistan Women's team will play their matches in Colombo which will also host a semifinal and the final in case Pakistan go that far.
Meanwhile, the ICC has also confirmed that Birmingham will host the opening game of the 2026 Women's T20 World Cup on June 12 with the home team England featuring in it. The two semifinal matches will be held at the Oval before the final is played at the Lord's on July 5. Old Trafford, Headingley, The Hampshire Bowl and the Bristol County Ground are the other venues scheduled to host the expanded 12-team competition.
