The schedule

Planning a trip around the cricket

A World Cup here is not a single-city trip. The host nations span roughly three thousand kilometres, the grounds sit in cities that are hours apart by air, and supporters who travel this far usually build two or three weeks around a block of matches rather than fly in for one.

That changes what you should book. Touring parties and families tend to do better taking a whole house or a farm cottage for a week than separate hotel rooms, particularly in the smaller host cities where hotel stock is thin. It also leaves room for the part of the trip that is not cricket: the reserves, the coast and the winelands are what people remember, and the rest days between matches are when you see them.

Every stay listed here is on Spekboom, which means a share of what you pay goes to a conservation or community cause chosen by the host.

Cricket World Cup 2027 travel questions

When is the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2027?

2 Oct to 21 Nov 2027, with 57 matches between 14 teams. The full schedule is on this page, and each venue page lists its own matches.

Which grounds are hosting the 2027 Cricket World Cup?

Twelve, confirmed by the ICC on 30 July 2026. South Africa: The Wanderers (Johannesburg), SuperSport Park (Centurion), Newlands (Cape Town), Boland Park (Paarl), Kingsmead (Durban), St George's Park (Gqeberha), Mangaung Oval (Bloemfontein), Buffalo Park (KuGompo City). Zimbabwe: Harare Sports Club (Harare), Queens Sports Club (Bulawayo), Mosi-oa-Tunya International Cricket Stadium (Victoria Falls). Namibia: Namibia Cricket Ground (Windhoek).

Where is the 2027 Cricket World Cup final?

The final is at The Wanderers, Johannesburg, on 21 Nov 2027. Rooms near the ground go first for final week, so book early.

Where can I find accommodation near the World Cup venues?

Each venue has its own guide, linked from the grid of grounds on this page. Among the stays closest to the grounds: 58 on Hume for The Wanderers; Brooklyn Place Guesthouse for SuperSport Park; Newlands Guest House for Newlands; Vendôme Wine Estate for Boland Park; aha Gateway Hotel for Kingsmead; Forest Hall Guest House for St George's Park; Kwandwe Melton Manor for Buffalo Park; Shoestrings Backpackers for Mosi-oa-Tunya International Cricket Stadium.

Where should I stay in South Africa for the Cricket World Cup 2027?

Eight of the twelve grounds are in South Africa: The Wanderers in Johannesburg, SuperSport Park in Centurion, Newlands in Cape Town, Boland Park in Paarl, Kingsmead in Durban, St George's Park in Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth), Mangaung Oval in Bloemfontein, Buffalo Park in KuGompo City (East London). Base yourself in the city of the matches you want to see; each venue has its own guide to the areas and places to stay nearest the ground.

Are there hotels near the Cricket World Cup grounds?

Spekboom lists independent places to stay rather than chain hotels: guest houses, self-catering houses and cottages, lodges and farm stays. For a touring party or a family, a whole house for a week is often better value than several hotel rooms, especially in the smaller host cities.

When should I book accommodation?

As early as you can. Rooms close to the grounds are the first to go, and demand concentrates hard into the host cities once the schedule is known. Check each property's cancellation terms, which are set by the host and shown on every listing.

Can I combine matches with a safari?

Yes, and most visitors travelling this far do. Addo Elephant National Park is an hour from Gqeberha, the Zululand reserves are a morning from Durban, Hwange is reachable from both Bulawayo and Victoria Falls, and the Winelands sit right beside Boland Park. Rest days between matches are what make the trip.

Do you sell match tickets?

No. Tickets are sold by the ICC and its appointed partners. Spekboom lists places to stay, and every booking here supports a conservation or community cause chosen by the host.

Spekboom is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or a partner of the International Cricket Council. Fixtures, venues and ticketing are published by the ICC. We list places to stay and do not sell match tickets.
