The 2027 ICC Men’s ODI World Cup is provisionally scheduled to run from October 4 to November 21, according to reports citing ESPNcricinfo and coverage of an ICC board meeting. The tournament is expected to be held across South Africa, with matches also planned in Zimbabwe and Namibia. Reports indicate South Africa will host the bulk of the 54 scheduled matches, with at least 41 games likely to be played across eight venues in South Africa. Zimbabwe is expected to stage between eight and 10 matches, while Namibia is expected to host about three games. The dates were agreed during an ICC board meeting in Ahmedabad in May. Final confirmation is expected at the ICC Annual General Meeting in Edinburgh in July. While details on the full match schedule are not yet finalized, the confirmed window and host countries set the framework for planning across the venues involved.
