The oldest rivalry in cricket adds another chapter as England take on Australia in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 final on Sunday, July 5 at Lord’s Cricket Ground. Both sides are unbeaten so make check our guide below for how to watch England vs Australia free online.
England topped their group with convincing victories over the West Indies, Sri Lanka and defending champions New Zealand before producing another commanding display in the semifinals against South Africa. Although tournament-leading run-scorer Danielle Wyatt-Hodge departed early, captain Nat Sciver-Brunt led from the front with a superb 75, while Heather Knight chipped in with a crucial 58 to seal England’s place in the final.
A run to the final on home soil will still feel like only half the job done for England, who are through to their first Women’s T20 World Cup final since 2018. But between their only title in 2009 and now, they’ve reached three finals – and lost every one of them to Australia.
Six-time champions Australia have looked every bit as dominant. After comfortably defeating fellow heavyweights India and South Africa, captain Sophie Molineux’s side will be aiming to add yet another trophy to their glittering legacy by defeating their Ashes rivals. They’ll once again rely on the experience and quality of Beth Mooney, Ellyse Perry, Ashleigh Gardner and Sophie Molineux to deliver when it matters most.
