Upcoming Cricket Matches: Full November 2026 Schedule, Dates and Venues
Twenty international matches are scheduled between 5 and 30 November 2026 across six countries, including the remaining four India vs New Zealand ODIs, two Tests in that same series, Australia vs England in white-ball cricket, and four Test matches that count towards the World Test Championship.
Two Tests are already under way as of 5 November. Below is the full calendar, series by series, with every date and venue confirmed from official and tour schedules. Where a start time has not been officially confirmed, it is marked as such rather than estimated.
Matches Being Played Right Now
- Afghanistan vs Zimbabwe, 1st Test — 5-9 November, Sharjah Cricket Stadium. Afghanistan’s first home Test of this UAE season, following a T20I series that finished on 1 November.
- Bangladesh vs West Indies, 2nd Test — 5-9 November, Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. West Indies lead the two-match series 1-0 after winning the first Test by eight wickets in Mirpur, so Bangladesh need this one to square it.
India vs New Zealand ODI Series — Remaining Fixtures
India lead 1-0 after beating New Zealand by five wickets under DLS at Eden Park, a match in which Virat Kohli passed Sachin Tendulkar as the leading run-scorer in ODI chases. Four matches remain.
| Match | Date | Venue | Start (IST) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2nd ODI | Sat 7 November | Hnry Stadium (Wellington Regional Stadium), Wellington | 7:30 AM |
| 3rd ODI | Tue 10 November | Seddon Park, Hamilton | 7:30 AM |
| 4th ODI | Fri 13 November | Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui | 7:30 AM |

All five ODIs start at 3:00 PM local time in New Zealand, which is 7:30 AM IST, with the toss half an hour earlier.
One thing worth watching: India name a different captain for the last two ODIs. Shubman Gill leads for the first three, Shreyas Iyer for the 4th and 5th, with Mitchell Santner captaining New Zealand throughout.
