England's white-ball series against Sri Lanka will commence from January 22 with the final match set to be played on February 3 ahead of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026.

After a disappointing Ashes series down under, the England team is set to tour Sri Lanka for a white-ball series, comprising three ODIs and as many T20Is. With the Three Lions preparing for the highly-anticipated ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, the series promises an exciting early-season cricketing galore. Sri Lanka vs England 2026 series will begin on January 22 with the ODIs first, set to be played at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.

It will be followed by two more games on January 24 and 27. England have endured a poor run of form in ODIs, losing 18 out of 26 ODIs since the 2023 World Cup. With Harry Brook at the helm, England will look to turn things around.

After the conclusion of the ODI leg, the two nations will lock horns in a three-match SL vs ENG T20I series from January 30 to February 3. That will also wrap T20 World Cup preparations for both teams. Here in this article, we have compiled all relevant details around the upcoming England tour of Sri Lanka.
