The Hundred returns for men and women from August 1, 2023. This guide explains how to tune in to the eight-team, 100-ball tournament, wherever you are...
The Hundred returns for men and women from August 1. The 100-ball competition involves eight teams: Birmingham Phoenix, London Spirit, Manchester Originals, Northern Superchargers, Oval Invincibles, Southern Brave, Trent Rockets and Welsh Fire.
Men and women play double-headers at eight venues around the country, with each team playing eight group games - one each against every side, and a bonus meeting with a "local rival". Every team plays four home games and four away. The winner of the league stage reaches the final automatically, with second and third playing off in the Eliminator to earn the right to meet them.
Oval Invincibles are the women's defending champions, while Trent Rockets won the tournament in 2022. Keep reading to see how to watch The Hundred live streams - whever you are - in 2023.
Sky Sports will cover every game of The Hundred. Matches will be available of the Sky Sports The Hundred channel (Sky 404, Virgin 514). Sky Sports The Hundred is normally Sky Sport Cricket but is renamed for the duration of the competition.
