When is Cricket World Cup 2023? Dates, times and schedule

Since the infamous, nerve-shattering super over, Eoin Morgan has departed as England captain, to be replaced by Jos Buttler, who guided the team to become T20 champions of the world.

Two back-to-back years featuring T20 World Cup tournaments may have pushed ODIs into the shade somewhat, but the appetite for 50-over cricket will come roaring back by the time the tournament rolls around, especially with several English superstars injecting life back into this glorious game.

RadioTimes.com brings you all the dates you need to know for the Cricket World Cup 2023.

When is the Cricket World Cup 2023?

The Cricket World Cup 2023 will begin on Thursday 5th October 2023 and run until the final on Sunday 19th November 2023.

It was initially expected to take place between February and March 2023 but officials announced in July 2020 that it would be pushed back due to COVID restrictions wreaking havoc with the qualification process.
