Wtc Final 2027 Lords

What this countdown tracks

The clock above counts down to the first day of the 2027 ICC World Test Championship Final at Lord's Cricket Ground in London on June 9, 2027 — the climactic match of the 2025-2027 WTC cycle.

About this match

The ICC World Test Championship Final is the climactic match of cricket's premier red-ball competition. The 2027 final is contested at Lord's Cricket Ground, the home of cricket, over five days from June 9, 2027. The two finalists are determined by points-percentage standings across the 2025-2027 cycle of WTC fixtures.

Lord's hosted the 2023 final (Australia beat India), and the venue's reputation as the home of cricket gives the WTC Final added weight. The match is followed immediately by the start of the English summer Test schedule.
