World Cup 2023 will run from October 5 to November 19, and will feature 16 umpires and four match referees. The ICC has announced the list of five officials – two on-field, tv, and fourth umpires, and match referees – for each of the 45 league matches.

Since match officials are from neutral nations, the list of officials for the semi-finals and final will be revealed after the league stage.
