Utilita Bowl is set to welcome international cricket back to Southampton with two exciting IT20 fixtures in 2026, featuring England Men’s matches against India and Sri Lanka.
Cricket fans can look forward to England and India reigniting their on-field rivalry with a potential series deciding IT20 on Saturday 11 July. Later in the summer, England will face off against Sri Lanka in another IT20 on Tuesday 15 September.
The announcement comes off the back of record demand for international cricket at the stadium, which has welcomed sell-out crowds for the previous 18 men’s international match days, with both 2026 fixtures expected to follow suit.
We’re thrilled to welcome India Men back to Utilita Bowl for what promises to be an exceptional IT20 encounter, followed by an exciting clash with Sri Lanka.
These matches represent fantastic opportunities for cricket fans to witness world-class international cricket as we build towards hosting a Men’s Ashes Test Match in 2027. The atmosphere for international fixtures at our venue is always electric, and we’re looking forward to welcoming sell-out crowds for both matches next year.Rob Paddon, Commercial Director at Utilita Bowl
