The 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup Europe Sub-regional Qualifier B was a cricket tournament that formed part of the qualification process for the 2026 Men's T20 World Cup. It was hosted by Germany in July 2024.[1][2]

The event was planned to be held at two venues like the other two sub-regional qualifiers but on the day before first matches ICC announced that the ground inside the GelsenTrabPark, Gelsenkirchen could not be approved for the event. The schedule was changed to hold all matches at Krefeld.[3][4]

The winners of the tournament, Jersey advanced to the regional final,[5] where they will be joined by Netherlands and Scotland who were given a bye after having participated in the previous T20 World Cup, and two other teams from sub-regional qualifiers A and C.[6][7]
