Race to World Test Championship Final 2027: Latest updated WTC points table
The new World Test Championship cycle kicks off as top cricketing nations chase a place in the 2027 final. Check out the format, points system, and updated standings.
The World Test Championship 2025-27 competition has commenced, featuring nine Test-playing nations vying for a spot in the final. India, Australia, England, Pakistan, New Zealand, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and West Indies are participating in the two-year event. Each team must complete six Test series, three at home and three away.
The standings are determined by the percentage of points (PCT) earned from each match, with a maximum of 12 points for a win, 6 for a tie, and 4 for a draw. Losses do not contribute any points. Teams face penalties for slow over-rates, losing one championship point. The top two teams based on PCT at the league stage will advance to the final.
