When is the Australia vs West Indies T20 in 2026?

As of July 2025, no official fixtures have been announced for the Australia vs West Indies T20 series in 2026. The 2025 tour includes five T20Is, all scheduled for July after the Test series. The first two T20Is have already been played:

• 1st T20I (July 20): Australia won by 3 wickets with 7 balls remaining (West Indies Cricket)
• 2nd T20I (July 22): Australia won by 8 wickets with 28 balls remaining (West Indies Cricket)

• 4th T20I: July 26 at Warner Park, St Kitts
• 5th T20I: July 28 or 29 at Warner Park, St Kitts

The gap in batting depth between the two sides is stark: Australia chased 190 in the first T20I with 7 balls to spare, while West Indies couldn’t defend 172 in the second. The pattern: Australia’s middle order absorbs pressure, West Indies’ collapses.
