The 2026 Men's T20 World Cup East Asia–Pacific Sub–regional Qualifier also known as 2026 ICC Men's T20 World Cup EAP Sub–regional Qualifier will be a cricket tournament that will form part of the qualification process for the 2028 Men's T20 World Cup. It is scheduled to be hosted by Japan in May 2026.[1][2]
The nine participating teams will be split into three groups of three, with the top two sides from each group advancing to a Super Six stage.[3] The three teams eliminated after the group stage will contest a tri-series to determine the lower final placings.[4] No decision has yet been made regarding whether the region will regain an automatic qualification place for the T20 World Cup, or if teams will advance to a combined Asia–EAP qualifier.[3]
The following squads were confirmed for the qualification series.
