At the ICC Annual Conference 2025 in Singapore, it was confirmed that the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has been awarded the hosting rights for the next three World Test Championship (WTC) finals.
Following the successful staging of the 2021, 2023, and most recently the 2025 final, the ECB will host the 2027, 2029, and 2031 finals — further strengthening on its strong track record of delivering world-class events.
The first three editions of the WTC final were held at different venues across England — with the Rose Bowl hosting the 2021 final, The Oval staging the 2023 final, and Lord’s hosting the 2025 final.
ICC press release stated, “The Board also confirmed the awarding of hosting rights for the ICC World Test Championship Finals for the 2027, 2029, and 2031 editions to the England and Wales Cricket Board, following a successful track record in hosting recent finals.”
