England National Cricket Team will start their 2027 World Cup campaign against Bangladesh in Windhoek on October 8. Their Group B schedule then takes them to Windhoek again, Harare, Gqeberha and back to Harare before the Super 7 stage.
The tournament format places England in Group B alongside South Africa, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Qualifier B. England have been assigned the AB4 position in the Super 7 seeding, giving them a defined pathway if they reach that stage.

October 13: England vs Sri Lanka, Windhoek
October 16: South Africa vs England, Gqeberha
October 20: England vs Qualifier B, Harare
