T20 World Cup 2026 Super 8 Groups and Seedings

To assist with travel logistics and ticketing, the ICC uses a pre-tournament seeding system. Regardless of whether a seeded team finishes first or second in their initial group, they retain their predetermined seed (e.g., A1, B2) if they qualify. If an unseeded team knocks out a seed, they inherit that seed’s position. Where to Watch ICC T20 World Cup 2026 Live Streaming Online and on TV.
