2024–2026 Cricket World Cup League 2
The 2024–2026 ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 is the second edition of the Cricket World Cup League 2, a cricket tournament which forms part of the 2027 Cricket World Cup qualification process. As a result of the scrapping of Super League, this cycle of League 2 saw an increase from 7 to 8 teams. The rise in team count led to an increase in the total number of fixtures from 126 to 144. Scotland entered the competition as the defending champions.
Teams and qualification
The previous World Cup qualification cycle allowed for promotion of the League 2 champion to the Super League. However, the scrapping of that tournament meant that the previous League 2 champions, Scotland, remained in this competition, and Netherlands were added having previously played in the Super League. They were joined by the top 3 finishers from the previous League 2 and four teams from the 2023 Cricket World Cup Qualifier Play-off. The play-off resulted in Canada being promoted, with Papua New Guinea relegated to the Challenge League.| Method of qualification | Date of qualification | Venues | Number of teams | Teams |
