The 2026 Global T20 Canada (or 2026 NCL GT20 Canada) will be the fifth edition of the Global T20 Canada, a Twenty20 professional cricket tournament played in Canada. This edition will be held in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines rather than its usual home in Canada. The tournament will begin on 23 October and the final will be played on 2 November 2026.
Background In December 2024, Cricket Canada announced the termination of their contract with Bombay Sports Limited. The rights to the GT20 were acquired by Dallas-based National Cricket League in April 2025.
In April 2025, Cricket Canada announced that they had awarded a long-term licensing deal to National Cricket League (NCL) Canada to operate the GT20 Canada tournament going forward. With the change in partner, Mayor Patrick Brown told CBC Toronto's Here and Now in July 2025 that Global T20 Canada would not take place that year, but that he hoped for the tournament to return in 2026.
In January 2026, it was announced that the tournament would return, being hosted in Toronto from July to August 2026.
In September 2026, it was announced that the 2026 edition would instead be staged in the Caribbean, with matches to be held in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines during the October–November window. The tournament was described as a one-season Caribbean edition intended to strengthen ties between Cricket Canada and Cricket West Indies (CWI) working within a collaborative governance and regulatory framework. CWI would also take a direct franchise investment in the competition. The tournament was scheduled to return to Canada for its 2027 edition.
