For the first time, 11 women have surpassed $10 million in earnings, with tennis superstar Coco Gauff trailing only Naomi Osaka and Serena Williams on the all-time list.
By Brett Knight and Justin Birnbaum, Forbes Staff
Women’s sports are riding a wave of momentum, and the rising tide is—finally—starting to lift players’ pay. Indiana Fever rookie phenom Caitlin Clark, who helped push the WNBA to record highs for attendance and viewership, earned an estimated $8.1 million this year, matching the women’s basketball record set last year by the now-retired Candace Parker. Thai golfer Jeeno Thitikul took home a $4 million check at November’s CME Group Tour Championship—the largest prize in women’s golf history—while her LPGA Tour rival Nelly Korda finished with an estimated $12.5 million in total income, the best mark by a golfer in the 17 years Forbes has ranked female athletes’ earnings.
Meanwhile, 20-year-old tennis star Coco Gauff’s estimated $34.4 million gives her one of the best years ever recorded by a female athlete, behind only Naomi Osaka and Serena Williams, who peaked at $57.3 million and $45.9 million in total earnings, respectively, on Forbes’ list for 2021.
Together, the 20 highest-paid female athletes—a list that includes Korda at No. 8, Thitikul at No. 12 and Clark at No. 13, alongside the top-ranked Gauff—collected more than $258 million in 2024. That figure just edges 2022’s top 20, when Osaka and Williams accounted for more than $92 million between them, and represents a 15% increase over 2023’s $226 million.
The women’s combined total, however, remains less than 12% of the equivalent number for the top 20 male athletes, who hauled in an estimated $2.23 billion on Forbes’ 2024 list of the world’s highest-paid athletes overall, tracking the 12 months ending in May. (No women featured in the top 50 of that ranking.)
Traditionally, female athletes have had fewer and lower-paying endorsement opportunities than men—the top 20 women made an estimated $191 million off the field this year, compared with $624 million for the men—but the big difference is on the field, with playing salaries, bonuses and prize money. The WNBA’s “supermax” salary, for instance, was $241,984 this season. In the NBA, by contrast, 41 players this season will eclipse Gauff’s total earnings with their salaries alone, according to contract database Spotrac.
The gap is less stark in individual sports, but there are still disparities. In golf, Thitikul broke the LPGA Tour’s 17-year-old single-season prize money record in 2024 with $6.1 million, less than what 33 men from the PGA Tour and LIV Golf made this year. And in tennis, while the four Grand Slam tournaments now pay equal prize money to men and women, smaller tournaments don’t make the same guarantee.
In all, only four of the 20 highest-paid female athletes earned more on the field than they did off it, and the top 20’s on-field sum of $68 million represented 26% of their total, the vast majority of it from tennis players. The top 20 male athletes, by comparison, made 72% of their total on the field—almost an exact inversion of the women’s ratio.
The compensation discrepancy starts with revenue—women’s leagues simply have smaller pots to pay out of. But that math may be starting to change. The WNBA will reportedly receive $200 million a year in national TV money as part of the 11-year, $76 billion media agreements the NBA signed over the summer, a sixfold increase from the WNBA’s previous deal with ESPN, according to Sportico. The LPGA Tour is offering $131 million in purses across its 33 tournaments next year—a 90% increase since 2021—and the WTA Tour has pledged to achieve equal pay between male and female tennis players at combined 500- and 1000-level events by 2033.
Meanwhile, the NWSL, which has been drawing investment from big names including Disney CEO Bob Iger, agreed to eliminate its draft and implement a free-agent system as part of a collective bargaining agreement announced in August. And new women’s leagues are sprouting up in hockey (the Professional Women’s Hockey League), softball (the Athletes Unlimited Softball League) and basketball (Unrivaled), among other sports.
In one other promising sign for the growing financial viability of women’s pro sports, while the list of the highest-paid female athletes remains dominated by tennis, the mix of sports is getting more balanced. This year’s ranking includes three golfers, two basketball players, a soccer player, a gymnast, a freestyle skier and a badminton player. (Five years ago, the entire top 10 came from tennis.)
Eleven athletes surpassed $10 million in earnings this year, according to Forbes estimates—the first time there have been more than eight—and 17 members of the ranking’s top 20 are under 30 years old. In fact, the median age is just 26—meaning these athletes’ best years may still be ahead of them.
THE HIGHEST-PAID FEMALE ATHLETES 2024
#1. $34.4 million
Sport: Tennis | Nationality: U.S. | Age: 20 | On-Field: $9.4 million • Off-Field: $25 million
Gauff served as Team USA’s co-flag bearer at the Paris Olympics’ opening ceremony in July, and while her level of play dipped a bit over the summer, she was back at her best in the fall, winning the China Open and the WTA Finals in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. That last victory came with a $4.8 million check, but the 20-year-old star makes even more money off the court, where she recently added hair-care brand Carol’s Daughter, Fanatics and Naked Juice to a list of long-term partners that now goes 11 deep. She also appeared on the cover of Wheaties boxes during the U.S. Open, honoring her title run in Flushing Meadows a year earlier.
#2. $23.8 million
Sport: Tennis | Nationality: Poland | Age: 23 | On-Field: $8.8 million • Off-Field: $15 million
Świątek led the 2023 female athletes ranking with an estimated $23.9 million, and she finishes this year within $100,000 of that total, with Lancôme and Lego joining her robust sponsor portfolio. But the 23-year-old also experienced turbulence, splitting with her coach and losing the No. 1 singles ranking after 50 straight weeks in the top spot. Most notably, news broke in November that she had tested positive for a banned substance three months earlier. However, the International Tennis Integrity Agency ruled that the result was unintentional—caused by contamination of melatonin she was taking for sleeping issues—and issued her only a one-month suspension.
#3. $22.1 million
Sport: Freestyle skiing | Nationality: China | Age: 21 | On-Field: $0.1 million • Off-Field: $22 million
Gu has lucrative endorsement deals with Western brands including Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co. and new addition Porsche as well as Chinese brands such as Anta sportswear, Bosideng jackets and Mengniu Dairy. With her 16th World Cup victory this month, she moved back into a tie for the career freeskiing lead, but some Chinese social media users have accused Gu, who was born in San Francisco and represents her mother’s native China in competition, of being “unpatriotic” and “two-faced.” “In the past five years, I’ve represented China in 41 international competitions and have won 39 medals for China,” Gu shot back in a post on short-video app Douyin. “What have you done for the country?”
#4. $20.6 million
Sport: Tennis | Nationality: China | Age: 22 | On-Field: $5.6 million • Off-Field: $15 million
In the past two years, Zheng had won the WTA Tour’s Newcomer of the Year and Most Improved Player Awards, but she raised her game in 2024, reaching the Australian Open final and winning gold in singles at the Paris Olympics. The success has made her a huge star in her native China, with Audi, milk tea chain Chagee, Lancôme and phone maker Vivo among the brands signing her as an ambassador. Her quick rise has already prompted comparisons to her countrywoman Li Na, who won two majors and appeared in the top 10 of the female athletes earnings ranking from 2011 to 2014.
#5. $18.7 million
Sport: Tennis | Nationality: Belarus | Age: 26 | On-Field: $9.7 million • Off-Field: $9 million
Sabalenka jumped ahead of her rival Iga Świątek to capture tennis’ No. 1 ranking and claimed the WTA Player of the Year Award after winning the Australian Open and the U.S. Open, along with two other tournaments. She also led the tour with $9.7 million in prize money, edging out Coco Gauff’s $9.4 million. Off the court, she picked up endorsement deals with Audemars Piguet watches, Master & Dynamic headphones and açaí bowl chain Oakberry.
#6 (tie). $12.9 million
Sport: Tennis | Nationality: Japan | Age: 27 | On-Field: $0.9 million • Off-Field: $12 million
Osaka returned to the court on the first day of the year after missing all of 2023 as she gave birth to her first child. It wasn’t easy for the four-time major champion, who wrote in a powerful Instagram post in August, “My biggest issue is that I don’t feel like I’m in my body.” But she managed to play in 19 events after struggling with injuries in recent years and pushed her singles ranking back up to No. 58, from a low of No. 833 during her layoff. Osaka also still has more than a dozen sponsors in her stable and is a cofounder of production company Hana Kuma, which is working with golf’s LPGA Tour to create campaigns around its athletes and is developing an anime series that will include Osaka as a voice actor.
#6 (tie). $12.9 million
Sport: Tennis | Nationality: U.K. | Age: 22 | On-Field: $0.9 million • Off-Field: $12 million
Raducanu still has a slew of lucrative partnerships she signed in the wake of her victory as an 18-year-old at the 2021 U.S. Open, with brands including British Airways, Dior and HSBC, but she has been plagued by injuries, illnesses and inconsistency in the years since her breakout. The world’s 57th-ranked player heads into 2025 with a new fitness coach—the well-regarded Yutaka Nakamura, who previously worked with Maria Sharapova and Naomi Osaka—as she remains on the hunt for her second career WTA tournament win.
#8. $12.5 million
Sport: Golf | Nationality: U.S. | Age: 26 | On-Field: $4.5 million • Off-Field: $8 million
Korda tied an LPGA Tour record this year with five straight tournament victories and, despite a neck injury, finished 2024 with seven titles, the tour’s best total since 2011. Her $4.4 million in LPGA prize money also surpassed the tour record—although she herself was topped this year by Jeeno Thitikul’s $6.1 million—and she won the LPGA’s Player of the Year Award to go with the No. 1 ranking. Away from the course, Korda added Tumi to the best sponsorship portfolio in women’s golf.
#9. $12.1 million
Sport: Tennis | Nationality: U.S. | Age: 44 | On-Field: $0.1 million • Off-Field: $12 million
Williams played just two competitive events this year—each a first-round loss—as she winds down a legendary career that has included seven Grand Slam singles titles. But while endorsement deals tend to revolve around tennis players’ rankings, the 44-year-old is not your average No. 977 player. She is active on the speaking circuit, making six figures per engagement, and she stays busy as an ambassador and entrepreneur. Palazzo, an AI-powered interior design platform, is among her latest projects, and she was the model for a one-of-a-kind Barbie doll created as part of the toy’s 65th anniversary celebration.
#10. $11.2 million
Sport: Gymnastics | Nationality: U.S. | Age: 27 | On-Field: $0.2 million • Off-Field: $11 million
After a case of “the twisties” knocked her out of Olympic competition in Tokyo in 2021, Biles made a triumphant return to the Summer Games this year, winning three gold medals and a silver in Paris. Her comeback was chronicled in the Netflix docuseries Simone Biles Rising, and she took a victory lap with a series of exhibitions called the Gold Over America Tour—or GOAT, in recognition of her now-unquestioned status as gymnastics’ greatest of all-time.
#11. $10.2 million
Sport: Tennis | Nationality: U.S. | Age: 30 | On-Field: $4.2 million • Off-Field: $6 million
Pegula won two tournaments this year, in Berlin and Toronto, but two losses in New York also qualified as highlights. At the U.S. Open in September, she advanced past the quarterfinals at a Grand Slam for the first time, eventually falling to Aryna Sabalenka in the final. And this month, she faced rising American star Emma Navarro in an exhibition at Madison Square Garden in front of a crowd of more than 19,000. “The New York crowds are just different,” she told the New York Post ahead of that match.
#12. $9.3 million
Sport: Golf | Nationality: Thailand | Age: 21 | On-Field: $7.3 million • Off-Field: $2 million
Thitikul earned a $1 million bonus for winning the Aon Risk Reward Challenge, a season-long competition on the LPGA Tour, and she claimed the biggest victory of her young career at the CME Group Tour Championship in November. The 21-year-old already had a long and impressive résumé, however. At 14, she was the youngest golfer ever to win a Ladies European Tour event, at a 2017 tournament in her native Thailand, and she reached No. 1 in the world rankings as a 19-year-old LPGA rookie in 2022.
#13. $8.1 million
Sport: Basketball | Nationality: U.S. | Age: 22 | On-Field: $0.1 million • Off-Field: $8 million
Clark, recently honored as a member of Forbes’ 30 Under 30 and 100 Most Powerful Women lists, went from a record-breaking college star to a record-breaking WNBA rookie with the Indiana Fever in 2024, setting the league’s single-season mark for assists. Her growing list of partners includes Nike, State Farm and Wilson Sporting Goods, and she appeared in the ESPN+ docuseries Full Court Press during her senior season at the University of Iowa.
#14. $8 million
Sport: Tennis | Nationality: Italy | Age: 28 | On-Field: $6.5 million • Off-Field: $1.5 million
Paolini was one-half of the WTA Tour’s doubles team of the year, alongside Sara Errani, after they reached the French Open final and won Olympic gold. But the late-blooming 28-year-old was just as successful in singles, finishing as the runner-up at Roland-Garros and Wimbledon, rising to No. 4 in the year-end rankings and leading Italy to the Billie Jean King Cup title. She has momentum off the court as well, recently partnering with Intesa Sanpaolo and Italgas.
#15. $7.9 million
Sport: Tennis | Nationality: Kazakhstan | Age: 25 | On-Field: $3.9 million • Off-Field: $4 million
Rybakina had to pull out of two Wimbledon warm-up tournaments, the Paris Olympics and the U.S. Open because of illnesses and injuries, and she missed the WTA Tour’s entire Asian swing in the fall. But the 25-year-old, who was born in Russia and represents Kazakhstan, returned for the WTA Finals and scored a round-robin victory over No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka. Rybakina has now won six of her last eight matches against top-ranked players.
#16. $7.6 million
Sport: Soccer | Nationality: U.S. | Age: 35 | On-Field: $0.6 million • Off-Field: $7 million
Days after revealing that she was pregnant with her second child, Morgan retired from professional soccer, playing 13 minutes in her final game with San Diego Wave FC in September. She ends her career with two World Cup titles and an Olympic gold medal and ranks fifth in U.S. women’s national team history with 123 goals. Also a prolific pitchwoman and investor, Morgan acquired stakes this year in Unrivaled, the forthcoming women’s pro basketball league, and Classic Football Shirts, which sells vintage soccer jerseys.
#17. $7.1 million
Sport: Badminton | Nationality: India | Age: 29 | On-Field: $0.1 million • Off-Field: $7 million
Sindhu’s name recognition may be lacking in the U.S., but she is a huge marketing star in her native India and is making her sixth appearance on Forbes’ female athlete earnings ranking. A two-time Olympic medalist and the 2019 badminton world champion, Sindhu led the Indian women to their first title at the Badminton Asia Team Championships in February and served as her country’s co-flag bearer at the Paris Summer Games’ opening ceremony, although she was ousted from the tournament in the round of 16.
#18. $6.5 million
Sport: Tennis | Nationality: Canada | Age: 22 | On-Field: $1.5 million • Off-Field: $5 million
Fernandez is No. 31 in women’s singles, which represents her best year-end ranking since 2021, when she unexpectedly reached the U.S. Open final against Emma Raducanu. In August, the 22-year-old Canadian beat Elena Rybakina in the second round at the Cincinnati Open, her first victory over a top-five player since her magical run in Flushing Meadows saw her knock off Naomi Osaka, Elina Svitolina and Aryna Sabalenka. Off the court, Fernandez remains a star in Canada with more than a dozen long-term partners, signing this year with enterprise software company SAP and Folgers Coffee.
#19 (tie). $6.3 million
Sport: Basketball | Nationality: U.S. | Age: 27 | On-Field: $0.3 million • Off-Field: $6 million
After falling two games short of a WNBA championship in 2023, Ionescu got her ring this year with the New York Liberty, following a gold-medal performance with Team USA at the Paris Olympics. She also nearly pulled off an upset win over Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry in a 3-point contest during the NBA’s All-Star Weekend in February. That isn’t Ionescu’s first time crossing over to the men’s game: Her signature shoe from Nike has been worn by NBA players including the Boston Celtics’ Jrue Holiday, the New York Knicks’ Jalen Brunson and the Indiana Pacers’ Tyrese Haliburton.
#19 (tie). $6.3 million
Sport: Golf | Nationality: New Zealand | Age: 27 | On-Field: $3.3 million • Off-Field: $3 million
In January, Ko claimed her first LPGA Tour title since 2022, and she followed it up with two more, including the Women’s British Open. She now ranks fourth on the LPGA’s career official prize money list with $20,143,981, and with another year like this one, she will pass Annika Sorenstam ($22,583,693) for the tour record. Ko also won the women’s golf tournament at the Paris Games, giving her a complete set of Olympic medals—gold, silver (from 2016) and bronze (2021).

Qual foi o melhor livro, filme ou série em 2024? – 23/12/2024 – Painel do Leitor
PUBLICADO
5 minutos atrásem
23 de dezembro de 2024Neste ano, as produções brasileiras estiveram em evidência. O sucesso de Walter Salles com “Ainda Estou Aqui”, filme brasileiro com a maior bilheteria do pós-pandemia, e os números surpreendentes de “Senna”, série de língua não inglesa da Netflix mais vista no mundo, são exemplos disso.
Para muitos, essas produções estão entre as favoritas do ano. Para os aficionados da música, foi “The Box Medley Funk 2”, colaboração entre The Box, MC Brinquedo, MC Cebezinho, MC Tuto, MC Laranjinha e DJ Oreia, a música mais ouvida no Brasil em 2024.
Para os amantes dos livros não faltaram boas leituras, como “Sempre Paris”, edição das crônicas da jornalista e tradutora Rosa Freire d’Aguiar, vencedor do Jabuti como livro do ano, e “Salvar o Fogo”, segundo romance de Itamar Vieira Junior, eleito o melhor romance literário na premiação.
Esses lançamentos ocuparam as primeiras posições, mas ainda há espaço para filmes, séries, livros e músicas antigas em cada ranking pessoal. Gosto não se discute, mas pode ser comentado.
Por isso, a Folha quer saber: qual foi o livro que leu, o filme ou série que assistiu e/ou a música que ouviu que mais gostou em 2024, leitor? Por quê? Conte neste formulário.
Algumas respostas poderão ser publicadas no Painel do Leitor deste domingo (X) e nas redes sociais do jornal.

‘Absurdo paternalista perfeito’: por que Pai da Noiva é meu filme alegre | Steve Martin
PUBLICADO
8 minutos atrásem
23 de dezembro de 2024 Laura Snapes
EU deveria odiar esse filme. Um pai possessivo perde o controle ao saber que sua filha de 22 anos – uma sofisticada estudante de arquitetura que acabou de voltar de um semestre em Roma – está noiva de um homem que ele não conhece. Depois que ela conta a novidade para ele no jantar, nós a vemos contando isso pela segunda vez através dos olhos dele, aos sete anos de idade. Quando o noivo chega, o pai quase tem um aneurisma por ter ousado colocar a mão na perna dela, e começa a assistir America’s Most Wanted todas as noites procurando seu rosto. Ele fica tão louco com a perspectiva do casamento que o perde no supermercado e acaba brevemente na prisão. “Eu não era mais o homem na vida da minha filha”, lamenta. É um absurdo paternalista e é perfeito.
Assisti pela primeira vez ao remake de Pai da Noiva (FOTB) de 1991 quando era criança porque é o filme favorito do meu pai. Como sua única filha, me recuso categoricamente a ler isso, embora tenha gostado de contar ao meu namorado quando o fiz suportar minha recente nova observação. (Aproximadamente minha 975ª exibição; a primeira e, suspeito, única.) É o filme que me fez apaixonar por Steve Martin, nosso paranóico FOTB George Banks, e Diane Keatonotimista MOTB Nina, a quem passei a considerar meus pais cinematográficos, um conforto sempre que os vejo na tela.
Indiscutivelmente, não é nenhum dos seus melhores trabalhos, chegando ao final dos respectivos períodos imperiais de Hollywood. (Qualquer um que argumente que Keaton foi nos anos 70 evidentemente não viu Baby Boom de 1987, outra de minhas travessuras regressivas favoritas.) Keaton está um pouco subutilizada no papel de contraponto sensato de George – embora, como é seu direito divino, ela ainda consiga presidir uma magnífica cozinhapois este é um filme co-escrito por Nancy Meyers e dirigido por seu então marido Charles Shyer – e Martin é o ne plus ultra de mastigar vespas e esbugalhar os olhos, dando o tom para uma farsa exemplar.
Um dos meus tropos favoritos na tela é qualquer personagem declarando: “São os anos 90 – acostume-se!” Eu leria um livro inteiro sobre a história da linhagem: quem disse isso primeiro? O que eles significam?? Aqui, pelo menos, significa boa sorte face ao capitalismo desenfreado. O organizador de casamentos rococó Franck Eggelhoffer, interpretado por Martin Short, com um sotaque de, digamos, indeterminado extração do Leste Europeu, balbucia “walkom to ze 90s, Moster Bonks!” quando George estremece ao custo de “de kaak” (o bolo).
Certamente, George arrasa com alguns looks normcore exemplares dos anos 90 neste filme, incluindo os tênis fabricados por sua empresa, e seu jovem filho Matty (um adorável Kieran Culkin) tem um desenho dos Simpsons na porta de seu quarto. Mas em termos de noiva, FOTB é puro babado pós-Diana dos anos 80: vestidos de merengue, um cantor de casamento jazzístico interpretado por Eugene Levy, cisnes tingidos de rosa para combinar com as tulipas, obviamente. Definido para acontecer na extensa casa da família dos Banks em um bairro muito normando de Rockwell, Califórnia, é, como declara Franck, fabolos.
Uma leitura simpática poderia ver o surto de George em relação ao casamento como uma resposta justificada ao absurdo do complexo industrial de casamentos, mas onde estaria a diversão nisso? Além disso, à medida que a sanidade de George desmorona, o filme deixa bem claro que ele é o irracional aqui por não querer gastar US $ 250 por cabeça com convidados. Ele espiona os sogros e cai na piscina deles. Na tentativa de economizar, ele compra um terno preto “Armani” que pode ou não ter caído da traseira de um caminhão. Franck tenta ajudá-lo a costurar um botão na manhã do casamento, mas está com a linha da cor errada e informa que Armani não faz “smoking azul marinho”, nem usa poliéster.
E quanto a Brian, o noivo? Ele é um Novo Homem alfabetizado em política de gênero que apoia a carreira de sua noiva e quase sempre chora. Ele não é, FOTB deixa claro, a história de amor que importa aqui.
Por que volto a este filme repetidas vezes? Quando menina e mulher mais jovem, eu era enfaticamente contra o casamento (embora desde então tenha suavizado) e assistia-o mais como uma comédia de terror do que qualquer coisa aspiracional. O único aspecto da vida dos Banks que eu gostaria é a cozinha. E ainda assim, assistir Franck e sua família fazendo seu show ridículo me dá vontade de fazer parte disso. Eu amo rituais e cerimônias, e Steve Martine Martin Short e Diane Keaton.
Estou tão cheio de FOTB que quando Vampire Weekend começou a provocar algo chamado FOTB há alguns anos, eu twitei uma piada dizendo que esperava que fosse um álbum conceitual sobre o filme. O publicitário me enviou um e-mail perguntando como eu sabia que o álbum realmente se chamava Pai da Noiva e por que eu havia vazado informações embargadas. Eu não tinha; a sigla está gravada bem no fundo da minha alma. Agora, aposto que você vai nunca adivinhe o que acontece no FOTB2… 👶👶

Paquistão escolhe Dubai como local neutro do ICC Champions Trophy para jogos na Índia | Notícias de críquete
PUBLICADO
10 minutos atrásem
23 de dezembro de 2024A mudança de local ocorre após semanas de disputas depois que a Índia se recusou a visitar o Paquistão, anfitrião do torneio ICC, para suas partidas.
A Índia jogará suas partidas do Troféu dos Campeões nos Emirados Árabes Unidos no próximo ano, depois que o anfitrião Paquistão escolheu o país do Golfo como local neutro para seus rivais, disse o Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
Devido às relações políticas azedadas, a seleção indiana não visita o Paquistão desde 2008 e o Conselho de Controle do Críquete na Índia (BCCI) decidiu não enviar sua equipe ao Paquistão para o Troféu dos Campeões, citando conselhos do governo.
Os dois países jogam entre si apenas em torneios multi-times, com o Paquistão visitando a Índia para a Copa do Mundo ICC com mais de 50 anos no ano passado.
“O Conselho de Críquete do Paquistão escolheu os Emirados Árabes Unidos (EAU) como local neutro”, disse o porta-voz do PCB, Amir Mir, por e-mail no domingo.
O Troféu dos Campeões, com oito equipes, será realizado em fevereiro e março do próximo ano.
O Conselho Internacional de Críquete disse na semana passada que as partidas entre Índia e Paquistão em torneios organizados em qualquer um dos países seriam disputadas em locais neutros.
O acordo se aplica ao Troféu dos Campeões masculino no Paquistão e à Copa do Mundo Internacional Feminina (ODI) de um dia na Índia no próximo ano.
Também estará em vigor para a Copa do Mundo Twenty20 masculina em 2026, que a Índia co-sediará com o Sri Lanka, e para a Copa do Mundo T20 feminina em 2028, no Paquistão.
O Troféu dos Campeões será o primeiro evento da ICC organizado pelo Paquistão desde que dividiu a Copa do Mundo de 1996 com a Índia e o Sri Lanka.
