Cricket 2027: plan a trip across three host countries

The ICC announces the tournament from 2 October to 21 November 2027 in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia. Choose specific fixtures rather than assuming one destination hosts the whole tournament.

Distinguish tournament phases

The Windhoek Super Series comprises three fixtures on 2, 4 and 6 October and decides the final group-stage team. The overall calendar begins on 2 October, while group-stage action starts on 7 October in Cape Town: these are different milestones.

Assign every ticket to a city

Record country, city, stadium and date for each fixture. A Windhoek ticket does not arrange travel to Johannesburg. Check entry formalities with each country’s authorities and carrier terms separately; this guide does not supply visa rules.

Allow for reserve days

The ICC announces the final at the Wanderers in Johannesburg on 21 November and reserve days for knockout fixtures. Check the exact reserve date and ticket terms before booking an inflexible departure the next day. The published 10:00 start for these matches is local time.

Questions before booking

Are the three Super Series days consecutive?

No: the announced dates are 2, 4 and 6 October 2027.
