The Netherlands are ready to impress the world cricket once again by producing challenging performances in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026. India and Sri Lanka are jointly hosting this tournament from 7 February to 8 March 2026.
It will be the Netherlands’ sixth consecutive T20 World Cup appearance and seventh overall T20 World Cup appearance, who previously qualified for the Super 10 (2014) and Super 12 stages (2022). The Netherlands have qualified for the 2026 edition after finishing as the champions in the ICC T20 World Cup Europe Regional Final Qualifiers.
The Netherlands are in Group A along with the hosts India, Pakistan, Namibia, and the United States of America. They will play three of their group stage fixtures in India, and the Pakistan match in Sri Lanka. If they qualify for the Super Eight stage, they will play in India by replacing the hosts India in Group 1, or in Sri Lanka by replacing Pakistan in Group 2.
