Finals Day Schedule
Women's Hundred Final
The Women's Final typically starts in the early afternoon at Lord's, giving both teams the prime-time atmosphere of cricket's most famous venue. Teams qualifying via the group stage and Eliminator meet for the title.
Men's Hundred Final
The Men's Final follows in the evening, under Lord's floodlights when needed. The reigning champions MI London have won the last three editions — but the 2026 final will crown a new potential dynasty or a defending champion.
How Teams Reach Finals Day
The Hundred uses a two-stage knockout system for both the men's and women's competitions:
Group Stage
All 8 teams play each other in a round-robin format, with each team facing every other team at least once. Points are awarded for wins.
Eliminator
3rd-placed team vs 4th-placed team. The winner progresses to the Final. The loser is eliminated.
Finals Day at Lord's
Group winners (1st) and runners-up (2nd) join the Eliminator winner. The top team meets the Eliminator winner; the runner-up is also a finalist. Both Women's and Men's Finals are played at Lord's on the same day.

Lord's Cricket Ground — The Permanent Home of Finals Day
Lord's Cricket Ground in St John's Wood, London, has hosted every Finals Day since The Hundred launched in 2021. The ground — owned by Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) — is home to London Spirit, making it the only Finals Day team that plays their home matches at the same venue they could win the title.
With a capacity of approximately 30,000, Lord's provides the atmosphere of the biggest sporting stage in English cricket. The famous slope (2.5 metres from the Grandstand to the Tavern side) affects both batting and bowling strategies and is one of the most discussed features of the ground among players.
The Hundred Finals Day has become one of the most-watched domestic cricket occasions in English broadcasting history, with the BBC providing free-to-air coverage that has introduced the 100-ball format to millions of new fans since 2021.
