2027 Cricket World Cup Format
The 2027 Cricket World Cup will revert to the two groups of seven format used in 2003. The top three teams in each group will progress to a Super Six stage, followed by semi-finals and a final. Each team in a group will play all the other sides in the same group once.
2027 Cricket World Cup 14 Teams
South Africa and Zimbabwe will qualify automatically for the tournament alongside the top eight teams in the ICC ODI rankings as of 31 March 2027.
The remaining four spots will be decided through global qualifier tournaments. Namibia are not guaranteed a spot because they are not a full ICC member, so they will have to go through the standard qualification pathway. In total, 32 teams will take part in the qualification process.
