The 2026 ICC Men's T20 World Cup East Asia-Pacific Sub-regional Qualifier will be a cricket tournament that will form part of the qualification process for the 2028 Men's T20 World Cup. It is scheduled to be hosted by Japan in May 2026.
The nine teams will be split into three groups of three, with the top two sides from each group advancing to a Super Six stage. The three teams that are eliminated after the group stage will play a tri-series to determine the lower places. No decision has yet been made regarding whether the region will regain an automatic qualification place for the T20 World Cup, or if teams will advance to a combined Asia-EAP qualifier.
