Match window and confirmed schedule
Leeds has a practical schedule line-up over two weekend-adjacent periods.

| 17 June | India vs Netherlands — 14:30 |

The first day in Leeds features two games, then the evening slots close the listed week with Scotland and Pakistan fixtures later on. The source describes these as part of the tournament’s key fixtures at Headingley, where matchday capacity demand is highest for selected games.
What matchday visitors should expect
This is not a single headline event but a compact cluster of fixtures you need to plan around. If you want one of the limited showpiece seats, timing matters because early starts are also listed at 10:30 and 14:30 on matchday.
The city-side promise is clear too: each matchday is positioned as a mini festival, with DJ Gracie Garcia spinning curated music at the ground for fans.
Who this week is for in Leeds
The release is written for more than hardcore followers of women’s cricket. It explicitly names cricket fans and the general public as the audience, while the city programming is broad and family-oriented.
Councillor Salma Arif said Leeds has long experience hosting major sport at both professional and grassroots levels, and linked the tournament to the city’s profile and local economy. She also framed the atmosphere as a citywide boost, not just a stadium moment.
City activities and practical planning outside the stadium
Not everyone needs to secure tickets to be part of the event. City Square and Briggate host free activities on the Friday and Saturday with no advance booking.
Friday: 10:00–18:00.
Saturday: 10:00–17:00.
The city offer is aimed at all ages and includes:
– Run Chase Challenge
– Cricket-inspired speed games
– Banner-making activity areas
– Team captain interactive stations
– Intro sessions on getting involved in local cricket
The broader context is also part of the reader value: this same women’s event sits beside a very active Leeds sporting rhythm, and the source positions it as one of the biggest editions of the tournament. The opening weekend at Edgbaston drew 18,814 for India v Pakistan, and total sales across all seven venues were already above 200,000.
Matchday information and ticketing details for the Headingley fixtures are available through official event channels.
