On 19 December 2024, The ICC announced that the PCB has been awarded hosting rights of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup in 2028.

Neutral venue arrangements

Following an agreement between BCCI and PCB, the ICC board confirmed in an update issued on India and Pakistan hosted matches at ICC events, that India and Pakistan matches hosted by either country at ICC Events during the 2024-2027 rights cycle will be played at a neutral venue. The ICC established that neutral venue arrangements will also apply for the 2028 tournament.[4][5]

The 12 qualifying teams are divided into two groups of six teams; all the six teams in a group play with all the others – for a total of fifteen matches – and the top two teams in each group advance to the knockout stage.
