July 22, 2024

The Hundred returns this week, bringing cricket fans live games across Sky Sports and BBC TV, radio and online throughout July and August.

Returning for a fourth series, fans can enjoy the fast-paced format, as Southern Brave and Oval Invincibles fight to retain their position as champions of the women’s and men’s competitions respectively.

Cricket fans across the country can watch 15 games live across BBC TV and iPlayer from July 23rd including the opening women’s and men’s double header and the women’s and men’s finals. Every ball is available to follow across BBC Sport with audio commentary on every game plus video clips and analysis on the BBC Sport Website and App. All 34 match days will air live on the Sky Sports Cricket channel.

Adam Mountford, Head of Cricket for BBC Sport, commented: “The Hundred joins the BBC’s stellar summer of sport bringing cricket fans together with fast-paced action and entertainment. The competition is fierce between the teams across the UK and audiences can enjoy all the drama with commentary and expert analysis for the best of British sporting storytelling.”

Launched in 2021, The Hundred brings together eight teams from across seven cities, including some of the best international and domestic players from the men’s and women’s game. The teams are: Birmingham Phoenix, London Spirit, Manchester Originals, Northern Superchargers (Leeds), Oval Invincibles (London), Southern Brave (Southampton), Trent Rockets (Nottingham) and Welsh Fire (Cardiff).

England Women’s Captain and London Spirit All Rounder, Heather Knight, said: “The Hundred is getting closer and we’re really excited. It’s such a huge part of the summer now and it’s great to see the BBC continue their support. I know lots of fans have enjoyed watching The Hundred on free to access TV across the last few seasons, hopefully we can make this season similarly exciting and see London Spirit go all the way.”

The Hundred will return on July 23rd at The Kia Oval, live on Sky Sports and BBC, as a men’s and women’s double-header sees the Oval Invincibles play Birmingham Phoenix.
