Format

The tournament consists of 27 series and 69 matches in the league stage. The top two teams in the points table compete at the final at Lord's, London. Each team plays six series, three at home and three away, with each series containing two to five Test matches.^[3][4]

Points system

The points system was unchanged from the previous edition. A win was worth all 12 points, a tie was worth 6 points each, a draw was worth 4 points each, and a loss was worth 0 points. A team that was behind the required over rate at the end of a match would have one point deducted for each over it was behind. As in the previous edition, teams were ranked in the league table based on percentage of total points won out of total points contested.

Schedule

The International Cricket Council (ICC) announced the 2023–2027 Future Tours Programme on 17 August 2022 and identified which series was a part of the World Test Championship.^[5][6] Rather than being a full round-robin tournament in which everyone played everyone else equally, each team played only six of the other eight as in the previous cycles. The exact dates and the venues of these series will be decided by the boards of the competing teams.
