ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2027: Hosts (Who will host the next ODI World Cup)

The ICC Men's Cricket World Cup is a quadrennial tournament that has been played in the One-Day International (ODI) format. The ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2027 will be the 14th edition of this tournament, which the African countries South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia will host jointly in October-November 2027. South Africa and Zimbabwe are the ICC Full Members, who are active in Test cricket. Meanwhile, Cricket Namibia is an active ICC Associate Member.

It will be the first time that Namibia will host a senior ICC tournament. Meanwhile, South Africa and Zimbabwe previously jointly hosted the ODI World Cup in the 2003 edition along with the Associate nation Kenya, as all those nations experienced their first-ever ICC World Cup hosting.

ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2027: Key Hosting Details

After the 10-team ODI World Cup competitions for the last two editions, the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2027 is returning with 14 teams, last featured in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 in Australia and New Zealand. As the ICC Full Members, South Africa and Zimbabwe have directly qualified for the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2027. However, the Associate Namibia haven't earned this luxury as the co-hosts have earned any direct spot, and need to participate in the Qualifier to earn the qualification for the tournament. 

Namibia are participating in the 2024–2026 ICC Cricket World Cup League 2, from where they have to qualify for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2027 Qualifier. From the ICC Cricket World Cup 2027 Qualifier, the top four teams will earn the ultimate ticket for the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2027.  

Cricket South Africa has selected eight venues for the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2027. Meanwhile, Zimbabwe Cricket and Cricket Namibia are working to select multiple strong venues for the next ODI World Cup.  

Before the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2027, Zimbabwe and Namibia will jointly host the ICC Men's U19 Cricket World Cup 2026.
