The ICC has designated Semi-final 1 of the 2026 T20 World Cup as a floating fixture, to be held either at Colombo's R. Premadasa Stadium or Kolkata's Eden Gardens, depending on which teams qualify. If Pakistan reach the semi-finals, they will play in Colombo; if Pakistan do not qualify but Sri Lanka does and faces any team other than India, Sri Lanka will host in Colombo. Otherwise, the match will be in Kolkata. Semi-final 2 is fixed at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium. The final venue will be Ahmedabad unless Pakistan reach the final, in which case it moves to Colombo. Tickets for these matches are on sale with full refunds promised if venues change due to team qualifications, reflecting ongoing geopolitical considerations between India and Pakistan.
