South Africa will begin the tour with the first T20 International match to be played in Dharamshala on 15 September. The second and third matches of the series will be played in Mohali (18 September) and Bengaluru (22 September) respectively.

After the T20 International series, South Africa will play a three-match Test series against India, which will be their first match in the ICC World Test Championship. Test matches will be played in Visakhapatnam (October 2–6), Pune (October 10–14) and Ranchi (October 19–23).
