After a long break, England women will return to international cricket. They resume with an exciting home season.
England will face New Zealand, India and Ireland, alongside playing in the home Women’s T20 World Cup in the 2026 summer.
That said, here’s a look at England women’s 2026 home season schedule.
England vs New Zealand | May 2026
First up will be New Zealand. England will take on the White Ferns in a limited-overs series.
The series involves three ODIs and as many T20Is. The T20Is, especially, provide the much-needed preparation ahead of the T20 World Cup.
But before the T20Is, both teams will lock horns in ODIs. The first of those games will take place on May 10 in Chester-le-Street.
Northampton will host the second one-dayer on May 13, while the third ODI will take place in Cardiff on May 16.
Then the T20I leg will start on May 20 in Derby. The second T20I will take place in Canterbury on May 23, with the last match in Hove on May 25.
