Illustrative editorial artwork · not WCL match footageThe official WCL match list allocates 18 fixtures to Sharjah and six to Dubai. The historic photographs below show each real venue in an earlier year—not action from the 2026 competition.
Sharjah / UAEA venue woven into the history of cricket in the Emirates, Sharjah hosts the opening run, the closing group games and all three knockout fixtures.
Dubai / UAEThe tournament moves to Dubai Sports City for three double-header days, including India Champions versus Pakistan Champions.
The published Season 3 schedule places the first ten fixtures at Sharjah, returns for the final group run on 12–14 October, and stages both semi-finals and the grand final here. The ground’s long day-night history gives the venue its atmosphere, but surface behaviour can change match to match.
The official schedule assigns matches 11–16 to Dubai on 9, 10 and 11 October. The 10 October evening fixture brings India and Pakistan together at 19:30 local UAE time. Check the official fixture list before travel because the schedule may be revised.
