The tournament will be co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka with the global event following the same successful format used in 2024, when India lifted the trophy in Barbados.
Twenty teams have been divided into four groups of five, with the top two from each progressing to the Super Eights.
The tournament will kick off on 7 February when co-hosts India take on USA at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium.
All Group B matches, featuring co-hosts Sri Lanka, will take place exclusively across Sri Lankan venues. All of Pakistan's matches will also be played in Sri Lanka.
If Pakistan qualifies for the semi-finals, Colombo's R. Premadasa Stadium will replace Kolkata as the host of Semi-Final 1. Should Pakistan reach the final, that venue will also shift from Ahmedabad to Colombo.

The Proteas are on the brink of a historic series victory in India after batting the home side out of the contest on the fourth day of the second and final Test in Guwahati.
Marco Jansen took six wickets as the Proteas enjoyed a near-perfect third day of the second Test against India with the tourists sniffing a historic series victory.
All-rounder Senuran Muthusamy scored his maiden Test ton (109) and Marco Jansen smashed a brisk 93 (91) to boost South Africa to 480 all out on Day Two of the second Test.
The Proteas will lament a few soft dismissals as they went to stumps on day one of the second and final Test against India on 247-6 as they chase a historic series victory.
