England Cricket Board Announces The Hundred Fixtures For 2026 Edition
The England Cricket Board (ECB), on Tuesday, January 27, announced the fixture for the upcoming 2026 season of The Hundred.
The Hundred: The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced the fixtures of the upcoming The Hundred tournament on Tuesday.
The first of 34 matchdays will take place in south London at the Kia Oval on Tuesday 21 July, with the eight men's and women's teams all vying to reach The Hundred Final 25 days later on Sunday 16 August.
The opening day of the competition will see the two holders in action, with Sunrisers Leeds women's team kicking things off before MI London men's team rounds off the day in the second half of the double-header, the release said.
MI London's Sam Curran said: "We can't wait to get going again. The Hundred has got a bit of a new look this year, and that adds to the excitement. It's great for us to be starting our competition at home. We would love to continue the success we've had over the last few years. It's going to be a world-class competition, and we'll need to be at our best," as quoted by the ECB.
Sunrisers Leeds' Kate Cross said: "I'm really excited for us to be kicking off the competition this season. It reminds me of playing in the first-ever game at the Kia Oval in The Hundred back in 2021 and just how much it's all grown since then. It's always great to start a season as defending champions. We've obviously brought a few players back already, and we'll be looking to get off to a perfect start on 21 July."
Curran and Cross will find out more about their new teammates at The Hundred Auction, the UK's first major sporting auction, which will take place in London on March 11 and March 12.
