Pakistan Cricket Schedule for October and November 2026, Men and Women
Pakistan cricket schedule for October and November 2026: Sri Lanka T20Is, the England ODI tri-series, two Tests, women's fixtures and the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy.
Pakistan host 12 men's internationals between 9 October and 21 November 2026: three T20Is and two Tests against Sri Lanka, plus a seven-match ODI tri-series with England and Sri Lanka. Pakistan's senior women have no fixture listed by the PCB for October or November.
Before any of that, the Asian Games men's semi-final against Bangladesh is on Thursday 1 October at 5:00 am PKT in Japan. A medal match follows on Saturday 3 October.
We read every fixture page of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for the 2026-27 season on 30 September 2026. This schedule lists what the PCB has confirmed, and it marks clearly what it has not published yet, such as start times, squads and tickets.
Pakistan men's cricket schedule for October and November 2026
The Pakistan men's cricket schedule for October and November 2026 has four parts. First the Asian Games knockouts in Japan, then three T20Is against Sri Lanka in Rawalpindi, then a seven-match ODI tri-series, and finally two Tests against Sri Lanka.
| Date | Match | Venue |
|---|---|---|
| Thu 1 October | Asian Games semi-final v Bangladesh, 5:00 am PKT | Nisshin, Japan |
| Sat 3 October | Asian Games bronze match 5:00 am or gold match 9:30 am PKT | Nisshin, Japan |
| Fri 9 October | 1st T20I v Sri Lanka | Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium |
| Sun 11 October | 2nd T20I v Sri Lanka | Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium |
| Tue 13 October | 3rd T20I v Sri Lanka | Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium |
| Sun 18 October | ODI v Sri Lanka | Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium |
| Tue 20 October | ODI v England | Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium |
| Sun 25 October | ODI v England | Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore |
| Tue 27 October | ODI v Sri Lanka | Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore |
| Sat 31 October | Tri-series final, top two sides | Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore |
| 9 to 13 November | 1st Test v Sri Lanka | Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium |
| 17 to 21 November | 2nd Test v Sri Lanka | Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore |
England and Sri Lanka also play each other twice in the tri-series, on 22 October in Rawalpindi and 29 October in Lahore. Sri Lanka play a three-day warm-up match in Islamabad from 4 to 6 November, before the Tests.
The PCB named the match officials for all 12 home internationals on 29 September. That is a good sign the dates are firm.
The Asian Games medal matches come first, on 1 and 3 October
Pakistan's men start their busy autumn in Japan. They play Bangladesh in the Asian Games semi-final on Thursday 1 October at 5:00 am PKT. A win means the gold match at 9:30 am on 3 October. A loss means the bronze match at 5:00 am.
The men have not bowled a ball yet at these Games. Their quarter-final against Hong Kong, China was washed out, and the Pakistan v Bangladesh semi-final will be their first match. Pakistan's women already finished their event, and they won bronze.
Pakistan v Sri Lanka T20Is start in Rawalpindi on 9 October
Sri Lanka's tour starts with three T20Is at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on 9, 11 and 13 October. The PCB has listed the dates and the venue. It has not published the start time, ticket prices or a sale date for these matches.
Ticket details are the question most fans ask. Until the PCB opens a sale, there is nothing official to buy. The Pakistan vs Sri Lanka T20 tickets went on sale through the PCB's own ticket partner last time, and the same caution applies now: do not pay anyone before the PCB names a seller.
The ODI tri-series with England runs from 18 to 31 October
Pakistan, England and Sri Lanka play a one-day tri-series from 18 to 31 October. Each side plays the other two twice. The first three games are in Rawalpindi, the last four in Lahore, and the top two teams meet in the final on 31 October.
Pakistan play four league games. Two of them fall on a Sunday, 18 and 25 October, which suits working fans. England arrive only after the T20Is, so their first game of the tour is against Pakistan on 20 October.
The full Pakistan ODI tri-series 2026 fixtures, with every venue, match the PCB's fixture page. The PCB has not published points rules, start times or squads for the tri-series.
Two Tests against Sri Lanka close the home season in November
Pakistan host Sri Lanka in two Tests: 9 to 13 November in Rawalpindi and 17 to 21 November in Lahore. Both count towards the ICC World Test Championship. Sri Lanka play a three-day practice match in Islamabad from 4 to 6 November first.
Pakistan's last Tests were on the England tour in August and September. No Test squad for the Sri Lanka series has been named yet.
Pakistan women have no senior fixture listed for October or November
The PCB lists no match for Pakistan's senior women's team in October or November 2026. Its women's international page ends with the Asian Games, where Pakistan won bronze on 22 September. The only women's international event in October is for under-19 players.
That event is a Women's U19 T20 tri-series with Bangladesh and Sri Lanka at Iqbal Stadium, Faisalabad, from 2 to 16 October. The PCB says all matches begin at 10:00 am, and the top two sides meet in the final on 16 October.
- Pakistan v Bangladesh: 2, 6 and 11 October.
- Pakistan v Sri Lanka: 3, 9 and 12 October.
- Final: 16 October.
The PCB has not yet published a women's domestic calendar for 2026-27. So there is no confirmed date for the next National Women's T20 Tournament either. Fans of the senior side can relive the Asian Games bronze while they wait.
Domestic cricket: Quaid-e-Azam Trophy starts on 1 November
The PCB's 2026-27 calendar starts both divisions of the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy on 1 November. The Gold division runs to 17 December and the Silver division to 5 December. Before that, the President's Trophy Grade-I final is listed for 24 October.
| Tournament | Dates | Where |
|---|---|---|
| President's Trophy Grade-I (departments, first-class) | Final from 24 October | Venue not yet named |
| President's Trophy Grade-II Gold and Silver | Gold semi-finals 10 to 13 October; finals start 15 October (Silver) and 16 October (Gold) | Karachi, Islamabad, Haripur, Lahore, Muridke, Sheikhupura |
| Quaid-e-Azam Trophy Gold, 8 teams | 1 November to 17 December | Islamabad, Peshawar, Abbottabad, Rawalpindi |
| Quaid-e-Azam Trophy Silver, 12 teams | 1 November to 5 December | Faisalabad, Multan, Bahawalpur, Rahim Yar Khan |
| National U19 Championship and Cup | Until 6 November | Faisalabad, Peshawar, Sialkot, Multan |
| National U15 Cup | 22 October to 6 November | Faisalabad, Peshawar, Sialkot |
| National U17 Cup | 10 November to 5 December | Faisalabad, Peshawar, Sialkot |
The PCB calls the venues and windows in its July calendar "tentative". It has not yet put Quaid-e-Azam Trophy fixtures on its website. The National T20 Cup is not in this window at all: it is set for February and March 2027 in Lahore.
Pakistan's under-17 boys also host Sri Lanka in Multan. They play a three-day match from 9 October and five one-dayers on 15, 17, 19, 21 and 24 October.
Start times, squads and tickets are not confirmed yet
As of 30 September, the PCB has confirmed dates and venues but not start times, squads, ticket prices or broadcasters for the home season. Treat any time or price you see elsewhere as unconfirmed until the PCB publishes it.
- Check the PCB's media releases for the ticket sale notice before paying anyone.
- Look for the start time on the PCB fixture page, not in forwarded messages.
- Wait for the PCB's own squad announcement before trusting any team list.
- For TV, wait for the PCB to name its broadcasters for this season.
