Pakistan Cricket Schedule: October–November 2026 Home Fixtures

Checked against PCB announcements and fixture lists: 6 October 2026. Pakistan’s men’s home programme for October–November 2026 includes Sri Lanka T20Is, an ODI tri-series with England and Sri Lanka, and two Tests. Pakistan’s next match in this programme is the first T20I against Sri Lanka on 9 October in Rawalpindi.

This Pakistan cricket schedule covers the announced senior men’s home programme below. It is not a full-year calendar, and it does not cover Pakistan’s women, age-group teams or domestic cricket. All dates refer to Pakistan’s local calendar.

Pakistan home fixtures: October–November 2026

Start-time status: the official sources checked for this page confirm dates and venues, but did not establish first-ball times. “Not verified” does not mean the match has no scheduled time. Confirm the latest PCB match information before planning when to watch. PKT is UTC+5.

Which tri-series games involve Pakistan?

Pakistan’s announced group fixtures are on 18, 20, 25 and 27 October. The 22 and 29 October games are Sri Lanka against England, included because they affect the same competition. The final’s participants depend on the standings; Pakistan’s place in it is not guaranteed.

The programme moves from Rawalpindi to Lahore for the second set of ODIs. When saving a match, include both the opponent and city. A date alone is easy to confuse with another international, especially during a multi-team series.

November Tests and the practice match

The Sri Lanka Tests belong to the World Test Championship 2025–27. Sri Lanka also has a three-day practice match in Islamabad on 4–6 November. That practice game is separate from the 12 internationals in the table.

A Test’s date range covers its scheduled playing days. The match can finish earlier, so check the current scorecard before travelling on a later day. For an ODI or T20I, check for an official change if weather or other circumstances affect the programme.

Tickets and watching from another country

Our Pakistan vs Sri Lanka T20I ticket guide covers the PCB-announced enclosure prices and sale dates. For broadcast access, use the announcement for this series and your country. A broadcaster serving Pakistan may not hold the same rights elsewhere.

Keep a fixture’s confirmed start time and its time-zone label together. Convert the time only after it has been established; a guessed start time can leave you following the wrong session. Recheck official updates before making travel plans.

Reading the Pakistan cricket schedule from India and the UAE

The fixture dates above use Pakistan Standard Time (PKT, UTC+5). India Standard Time (IST, UTC+5:30) is 30 minutes ahead of PKT; UAE time (UTC+4) is one hour behind. Once the PCB confirms a first-ball time, add 30 minutes for India or subtract one hour for the UAE. For example, a hypothetical 7:00 pm PKT start would be 7:30 pm IST and 6:00 pm in the UAE. This example is a time conversion, not an announced start time for these fixtures.

For viewers in Bangladesh, local time (UTC+6) is one hour ahead of PKT. Sri Lanka uses UTC+5:30, the same offset as India. UK readers should check the offset for the match date because the clocks change during this October–November programme. A conversion near midnight can also move the local date forward or back.
