The 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup is the ninth edition of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, a biennial Twenty20 International (T20I) tournament contested by men's national teams and organised by the International Cricket Council (ICC). It is being co-hosted by the West Indies and the United States from 1 to 29 June 2024. It is the first major ICC event tournament to feature matches played in the United States, and in any other country in the Americas outside the West Indies. The West Indies is hosting the T20 World Cup for the second time, having hosted the 2010 edition. England are the defending champions, having defeated Pakistan in the final of the previous edition.
The tournament is being contested by a record 20 teams, an expansion from 16 teams at the 2022 tournament; this includes the two hosts, the top eight teams from the 2022 edition, the next two teams in the ICC Men's T20I Team Rankings, and eight teams determined by regional qualifiers. Canada and Uganda qualified for the men's T20 World Cup for the first time, while the United States is participating for the first time by virtue of being co-host.
