The Hundred Men’s Competition returns with new energy in 2026. The seventh edition of the tournament runs across July and August.
Here’s all you need to know about The Hundred Men’s 2026 season.
When does The Hundred Men’s 2026 start?
The Hundred Men’s 2026 will kick off on July 21 at The Oval. MI London will take on Sunrisers Leeds in the season opener at 6:30 PM local time (11:00 PM IST).
Is there something new this season?
Yes. We have new team owners. And a few teams have new names too.
Manchester Originals are now Manchester Super Giants. Oval Invincibles are MI London. And Northern Superchargers are Sunrisers Leeds.
These three teams, along with Southern Brave, are part-owned or fully owned by IPL team owners.
The other four teams have also seen ownership change, though they have retained their old identities.
What’s the format of The Hundred Men’s 2026?
While the league is going through a major overhaul, the format remains the same.
Each team will play eight matches in the league stage – four at home and four away. They will face six opponents once and play one team from their region twice.
Once the league stage concludes, the table-toppers will head straight into the final. The second- and third-placed teams will compete in the eliminator for the other spot in the final.
