The Hundred fixtures 2026: MI London Men and Sunrisers Leeds Women to start title defences at Kia Oval on opening day

Sunrisers Leeds Women and MI London Men will begin their Hundred title defences on the opening day of the 2026 tournament, at The Kia Oval on Tuesday July 21.

Sunrisers - formerly known as Northern Superchargers prior to being taken over by IPL owners - play MI London Women in the afternoon game from 2.45pm as the sixth season of the ECB's 100-ball competition kicks off.

Then, from 6.30pm, MI London Men will start their bid for a fourth straight title against Sunrisers Men, having completed a hat-trick in 2025 under their previous Oval Invincibles moniker.

MI London's name switch has also come after investment from IPL owners, with Mumbai Indians chiefs purchasing a 49 per cent stake in the Oval side.

Every match from the men's and women's competitions will be live on Your Site, including the eliminators on Friday August 14 and finals on Sunday August 16, with every day seeing a women's game precede a men's fixture at the same venue.

The men's and women's sides that top the league phase will qualify directly for the finals, with the sides ending up second and third meeting in the eliminator to decide the table-toppers' opponents.

Teams play eight group games, meeting six sides once and their local rivals twice.

MI London will play London Spirit on two occasions, with the other home and away fixtures Sunrisers vs Manchester Super Giants, Trent Rockets vs Birmingham Phoenix, and Southern Brave vs Welsh Fire.
