Why Did the WCL 2026 Schedule Change?
WCL 2026 was initially planned with seven participating teams and a larger fixture list.
However, Pakistan Champions withdrew from the tournament, resulting in the cancellation of their scheduled matches and a revised competition involving six teams.
The WCL website now promotes Season 3 as “Six Teams. One Trophy.”
As a result, fans should be careful when viewing older WCL schedules online because some still include Pakistan Champions and matches that are no longer part of the official revised fixture list.
Which Teams Are Playing in WCL 2026?
The six teams continuing in World Championship of Legends 2026 are:
India Champions, Australia Champions, England Champions, South Africa Champions, West Indies Champions and Bangladesh Champions.
Pakistan Champions were originally scheduled to participate but have withdrawn.
WCL Season 3 features a range of former international stars representing their respective Champions teams.
WCL 2026 Venue
Following the revised schedule, WCL 2026 matches are currently listed at:
Sharjah Cricket Stadium
Sharjah, United Arab Emirates
The historic venue will host the remaining league matches, both semi-finals and the WCL 2026 final according to the revised official match centre.
WCL 2026 Results So Far
India Champions opened their tournament with a 46-run victory over Australia Champions.
South Africa Champions then defeated West Indies Champions by 97 runs, while England Champions beat India Champions by 21 runs.
