ILT20 2026 schedule: Full fixtures and match timings for fourth season of International League T20 announced

Fixtures released for ILT20 2026; season to start on December 2

This year's tournament will begin at the start of December, a departure from the league's usual window of January and February – a move undertaken to ensure there is no overlap with the T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka during that time.

The season will begin with a repeat of the 2025 final as Dubai Capitals take on Desert Vipers in Dubai. On that occasion, the Capitals emerged victorious by four wickets after starring performances in the chase from Rovman Powell (63), Shai Hope (43) and Sikandar Raza (34*).

There are four double-header matchdays this season, on December 7, December 14, December 20 and December 21. The afternoon games on these days begin at 2:00pm local time. All other matches start at 6:30pm local time. The league stage concludes on December 28, with the playoffs running from December 30 to January 2. The final will be on January 4.
