Overview
- The ICC, which announced the $8,764,615 fund Monday, also released the full prize distribution for the June–July tournament in England and Wales.
- The champions will receive $2.34 million, the runners-up $1.17 million, losing semi-finalists $675,000, each group-stage win $31,154, and every team at least $247,500.
- Reports noted the winners’ payout remains unchanged from 2024 despite the 10% increase in the overall pot, and the total still trails recent ICC events hosted in the Indian subcontinent.
- The event expands to 12 teams with 33 matches across seven venues from June 12 to July 5, opening with England vs Sri Lanka at Edgbaston and concluding with a final at Lord’s.
- A trophy tour launched at Lord’s with a pavilion projection before visits to the Netherlands, Ireland and Scotland, then to host-city landmarks across England through May.
