ICC CWC Challenge League 2024-26: Full schedule, squads, match timings, and live-streaming details

The ICC CWC Challenge League 2024-26 is scheduled from September 25 2024 to October 5, 2024. The upcoming league is the second edition of the ICC CWC Challenge League and is part of the qualification process for the 2027 Cricket World Cup.

The league consists of 12 teams: those that finished 2nd to 4th in their respective leagues during the 2019–2022 ICC CWC Challenge League, the top four teams from the 2024 ICC CWC Challenge League Play-off, and two teams from the 2023 CWC Qualifier Play-off.

In the previous tournament, Canada, which won League A, were promoted to League 2 status, while Papua New Guinea were relegated. Jersey, the other Challenge League winner, did not achieve promotion. The top two teams from both groups A and B will earn a place in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Qualifier Playoff.

Each group is set to compete three times in a single round-robin format, with one match each year from 2024 to 2026, resulting in 15 matches per team and a total of 90 matches overall.

Kenya will host Group A with other five teams including Denmark, Qatar, Papua New Guinea, Kuwait, and Jersey. On the other hand, Group B features Uganda, the hosts, Bahrain, Hong Kong, Singapore, Italy, and Tanzania.

On that note let’s take a look at the ICC CWC Challenge League 2024-26 schedule & match timings:
