Cricket World Cup 2027
Victoria Falls for CWC27
Zimbabwe jointly hosts the 2027 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup, and the Mosi-oa-Tunya International Cricket Stadium in Victoria Falls hosts four matches, headlined by Zimbabwe v India on 24 October 2027. This is the planning hub for fans, sponsors and team support parties.
Is Victoria Falls hosting Cricket World Cup 2027 matches?
Yes. The fixture list released on 1 October 2026 gives the Mosi-oa-Tunya International Cricket Stadium four matches: Zimbabwe v India on Sunday 24 October 2027, followed by Super 7 matches on 28 October, 30 October and 1 November. All four are day matches starting at 10:00, leaving most evenings free for the falls, sunset cruises and group dinners.

Between the matches
Day trip options on days without matches
Fixtures take one part of the day. These are the blocks that fit around them, with realistic timings.
Half day: falls and town
Rainforest circuit at opening time, Big Tree, craft markets, back in time for an afternoon start. Around 3 hours.
Half day: Zambezi sunset cruise
Best fit after a day fixture, boards late afternoon, back in town by 19:00. Around 2.5 hours.
Half day: adrenaline block
Bungee, zip line or gorge swing at Victoria Falls Bridge, or a 12 to 15 minute helicopter Flight of Angels. Around 2 to 3 hours.
Full rest day: safari
Zambezi National Park or a Chobe day trip into Botswana for elephant herds. Best placed on a day without a fixture.
Full rest day: Zambia side
Cross the bridge to Livingstone for Devil's Pool or Livingstone Island during the months with lower water. Allow a full day for the border.
Evening: culture and dinner
Boma drumming and dinner evening or a village cultural visit, the easiest addition after a night finish.

Cricket World Cup 2027 travel FAQs
Is Victoria Falls hosting 2027 Cricket World Cup matches?
Yes. The ICC published the full fixture list on 1 October 2026 and the Mosi-oa-Tunya International Cricket Stadium in Victoria Falls will host four matches: Zimbabwe v India on Sunday 24 October, then three Super 7 matches on 28 October, 30 October and 1 November. All four are day matches starting at 10:00.
Which teams are playing at Mosi-oa-Tunya Stadium?
Zimbabwe v India is the confirmed headline fixture on 24 October. The three Super 7 matches pair the top finishers from the two groups, so those teams are settled once the group stage ends on 24 October. Group A already includes India, Australia, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Zimbabwe; Group B includes South Africa, England, New Zealand, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
How do I get tickets for the Victoria Falls matches?
The ICC ticket ballot opened on 1 October 2026 at tickets.cricketworldcup.com. Our packages exclude match tickets, so register for the ballot in parallel with booking your accommodation and transfers. We help you plan each day around whichever matches you secure.
How far is Mosi-oa-Tunya Stadium from Victoria Falls town centre?
The stadium sits on the edge of Victoria Falls town, roughly a 5 to 10 minute drive from the main hotel strip on Livingstone Way and about 10 minutes from the Victoria Falls rainforest entrance. Most lodges in town are close enough for a short shuttle rather than a long transfer.
Can I watch a match and visit Victoria Falls on the same trip?
Easily. All four Victoria Falls matches are day fixtures starting at 10:00, so evenings are free. The falls tour, a Zambezi sunset cruise or a helicopter flight each take two to three hours, so a single trip covers cricket and the falls without rushing.
How early should a fan group book accommodation for CWC27?
Now. The fixture list is published, the ticket ballot is open and Victoria Falls has a limited bed base, so lodges in town will fill quickly for the India fixture in particular. Seongo Group Travel reserves rooms for groups of 8 or more and confirms them against the confirmed match dates.
Do you handle team, sponsor and hospitality travel as well as fans?
Yes. Player family group bookings, sponsor and hospitality delegations, and media crews need different handling: quieter accommodation, private transfers following the match schedule, flexible activity slots and a single local coordinator. We quote these separately from standard fan packages.
What happens if fixtures move or Victoria Falls loses a match?
Deposits on our CWC27 packages are transferable to any other date inside the tournament window, so a fixture change does not cost you the booking.
