The 2026 season of The Hundred will mark the sixth edition of the professional 100-ball cricket tournament featuring eight men’s franchise teams based across major cities in the United Kingdom. The men’s competition will run from July 21 to August 16, 2026, comprising 32 group-stage matches followed by the playoffs and Finals Day, with every fixture scheduled as a double-header alongside the women’s tournament.
The season will begin at The Oval on July 21 and conclude with Finals Day at Lord’s Cricket Ground on Sunday, August 16, 2026.
The 2026 edition will also usher in a new era for several franchises following major investment-backed rebrands, with teams such as MI London (formerly Oval Invincibles), Sunrisers Leeds (formerly Northern Superchargers), and Manchester Super Giants (formerly Manchester Originals) set to feature under new identities.
