The 2024 T20 World Cup, the ninth edition of the tournament, will be hosted across the West Indies and the United States of America. It will mark the first occasion where the USA will be hosting a global ICC tournament.
The hosting rights for the event were awarded to the West Indies and the USA in 2021. Today (September 20, 2023), ICC has finalised the three venues in the United States of America that will be used for the T20 World Cup.

The Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas, Broward County in Florida, and Nassau County in New York have been identified as the three American venues that will host matches at the 2024 T20 World Cup.
Modular stadium technology will be used for the construction of a 34,000-seat stadium in Eisenhower Park in Nassau County. The seating, media, and premium hospitality areas of the two existing stadiums in Dallas and Florida will also be expanded using modular stadium technology.

Along with these three venues, a few other American venues, including the George Mason University in Washington which also serves as the home ground for Washington Freedom in Major League Cricket, have been earmarked for warmup matches and training.
ICC Chief Executive George Allardice emphasized the importance of capturing the American market and how the 2024 T20 World Cup presents the perfect opportunity to do that.
“We’re delighted to announce the three USA venues that will host part of the biggest ICC Men’s T20 World Cup ever staged, with 20 teams competing for the trophy. The USA is a strategically important market and these venues give us an excellent opportunity to make a statement in the world’s biggest sports market,” said Allardice.
The venues that will be used in the West Indies are yet to be announced.
The 2024 T20 World Cup will witness 20 teams participating for the crown between June 4 and June 30 next year.
