ICC World Cup on Cricfy TV — Every Team, Every Match

What Is the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2027?

The ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup is the biggest event in One Day International (ODI) cricket. The International Cricket Council (ICC) organises it every four years, and the 2027 edition is the 14th in history.

This time, the tournament lands in southern Africa. South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia are the three co-host nations. It runs from 4 October to 21 November 2027, giving fans over six weeks of non-stop live cricket streaming action.

So, why does this World Cup matter more than the last few? Because it brings back the 14-team format that was last used in 2011. That means more matches, more upsets, more nations, and more cricket for you to watch on Cricfy live TV.

The New Format — What Changed in 2027?

The ICC overhauled the format for 2027. Instead of a simple group stage and knockouts, there are now three stages before the semi-finals. Here is exactly how it works:

Stage 1: Super Series (3 Teams)

The three lowest-ranked teams among the 14 qualifiers play each other in a round-robin format in Windhoek, Namibia. Only the winner of this stage advances to join the main group phase. This is a high-pressure opening act.

Stage 2: Group Stage (12 Teams)

Twelve teams split into two groups of six. Each team plays five group matches. The top three finishers from each group advance, plus the best fourth-placed team overall — giving seven teams a seat at the Super Seven table.

Stage 3: Super Seven

All seven remaining teams play each other once in a round-robin. The top four on the points table go through to the semi-finals. This stage guarantees brilliant cross-group rivalries you would not get in a standard knockout draw.

Semi-Finals and Final

Both semi-finals are hosted in South Africa — in Cape Town and Tshwane respectively. The Final takes place in Johannesburg on 21 November 2027.

All 14 Teams at the ICC World Cup 2027

This is the first 14-team men’s ODI World Cup since 2011. Ten teams qualify directly, and four come through the ICC World Cup Qualifier (February–March 2027). Here is the full picture.

Direct Qualifiers (10 Teams)

South Africa and Zimbabwe qualify automatically as full-member host nations. The remaining eight direct spots are decided by the ICC Men’s ODI Team Rankings as of 30 September 2026.

Qualifier Teams (4 Spots — TBD)

Four more teams join from the ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier, scheduled for 22 February – 23 March 2027. Potential candidates include West Indies, Ireland, Scotland, Netherlands, Namibia, and others. These teams enter as Qualifier 1, Qualifier 2, Qualifier 3, and Qualifier 4.

Groups, Draws and Key Rivalries

The ICC released the full schedule on 1 October 2026 in Cape Town. Group A is the one every cricket fan in Pakistan will be glued to from day one.

Group A — The One With Everything

Group A has India, Pakistan, Australia, Afghanistan, and Zimbabwe. Three of the greatest cricketing rivalries in history all land in the same group. The India vs Australia repeat of the 2023 ODI World Cup Final opens on 7 October 2027 in Cape Town. Then India face Pakistan in Johannesburg on 10 October 2027. Pakistan then face Australia in Paarl on 22 October 2027. This group alone is enough to make the 2027 World Cup unmissable.

Group B — The Battle of the Rankings

Group B brings South Africa, England, New Zealand, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka together. South Africa playing on home soil adds extra intensity to every single one of their games. England defending their 2019 ODI World Cup legacy, New Zealand looking to finally win the big one, and Sri Lanka’s unpredictable genius make Group B a proper contest.

The four qualifier teams will be distributed between the two groups once the ICC World Cup Qualifier concludes in March 2027.
