The Hundred Women’s Competition 2026 will feature revamped teams, record player auction deals, and top international talent, running from July 21 to August 16.
The Hundred Women’s Competition 2026 is set to usher in a new era for women’s cricket, with significant changes including IPL-backed franchises, record-breaking player auction deals, and a lineup of international superstars. This sixth edition of the tournament will take place from July 21 to August 16, promising an exhilarating month of 100-ball cricket featuring some of the world’s best female cricketers.
The competition kicks off on Tuesday, July 21, with the defending champions, Sunrisers Leeds, facing MI London at The Kia Oval. The tournament will culminate in a grand final at Lord’s on Sunday, August 16, 2026. This season marks the most transformative phase in the competition’s history, driven by substantial private investment that has reshaped English franchise cricket.
In a move mirroring the men’s tournament, three teams have adopted new identities, and the traditional player draft has been replaced by a groundbreaking player auction. The salary cap for women players has been doubled to £880,000, allowing franchises to attract top international talent with unprecedented bids. The Hundred Women’s Competition 2026 is poised to be the largest and most competitive yet, featuring eight teams, world-class stars, and the exciting 100-ball format.
