India and England are currently facing off in a thrilling five-match Test series as part of the ongoing World Test Championship. But even before the final Test match is over, the focus has shifted to next year as the England Cricket Board (ECB) has just announced the limited-overs series for India’s tour of England in July 2026.
The upcoming 2026 tour will feature five T20 Internationals followed by a three-match ODI series, making it a long-series white-ball event. Unlike the current tour, there will be no Test matches next year.

Series Duration and Format
Next year in 2026, India will play 8 matches with England – five T20Is and three ODIs. This will be India’s only tour of England in 2026, which will see only limited overs cricket. The T20I series will likely serve as a preparation for the upcoming ICC tournaments, while the ODI series will strengthen the teams’ preparation for the future.
Current scenario: 2025 Test series still on
At the moment, the Indian team is in the middle of the 2025 Test series in England, with the fourth Test underway in Manchester. But once that is over, attention will slowly shift to the white-ball matches next year.
Fans can’t wait – July 2026 will see a nail-biting clash between the two top teams in the game.
