When is India vs Pakistan at the 2027 World Cup?

India play Pakistan on Sunday 10 October 2027 at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg, in Group A. They could meet again on Sunday 7 November at Newlands in Cape Town: the ICC has pre-seeded India as A1 and Pakistan as A3 for the Super 7, and A1 plays A3 that day. The second meeting only happens if both teams reach the Super 7.

What are the groups for the 2027 Cricket World Cup?

Group A: India, Australia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Zimbabwe and Qualifier A. Group B: New Zealand, South Africa, Sri Lanka, England, Bangladesh and Qualifier B. Qualifier A and Qualifier B are the two places decided through qualifying.

Where is the 2027 World Cup final?

The final is at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg on Sunday 21 November 2027, with a reserve day on Monday 22 November. The Wanderers also hosted the 2003 World Cup final.

What time do 2027 World Cup matches start in India?

The ICC has not announced start times yet. South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia are all on UTC+2, so India Standard Time is three and a half hours ahead: a 10:00 local start would be 13:30 IST, and a 14:00 local start would be 17:30 IST. We will add confirmed times to this page and to our calendar feeds when the ICC publishes them.

How do I add the World Cup 2027 schedule to my calendar?

Use the calendar box on this page. Choose all 57 matches or a single team, then pick Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, Outlook.com or Outlook for work. Those options subscribe to our feed, so your calendar updates itself when start times and qualifiers are confirmed. You can also download a one-time .ics file for any other calendar app.

Can I download the World Cup 2027 schedule?

Yes. From this page you can download the full schedule, or one team's matches, as a calendar file (.ics) for any calendar app, or subscribe in Apple, Google or Outlook so it updates itself. On the World Cup hub you can also download any team's fixtures as an image to save or share.

What do A1, B3 and AB4 mean in the Super 7 fixtures?

They are Super 7 slots the ICC has pre-assigned so fans know the fixtures and venues in advance: A1 India, A2 Australia, A3 Pakistan, AB4 England, B1 New Zealand, B2 South Africa and B3 Sri Lanka. If a seeded team fails to qualify, the non-seeded team that takes its place inherits its slot and fixtures. The slots are not group finishing positions.

What is the Super Series?

A three-team round robin at the Namibia Cricket Ground in Windhoek on 2, 4 and 6 October. It is played by the teams that finish second, third and fourth at the Cricket World Cup Qualifier. Each plays two matches, and only the winner moves on to the Group Stage.
