The Hundred 2026 Standings Guide
Complete standings, results, and team breakdown for The Hundred 2026 men's and women's competitions.
What Is The Hundred?
The Hundred is a 100-ball cricket competition run by the ECB, featuring eight city-based franchises in both men's and women's tournaments. Each team's innings lasts 100 balls divided into sets of ten, with bowling changes restricted to five or ten consecutive deliveries from each end.
2026 Men's Standings
Eight teams compete in a round-robin stage followed by Finals Day at Lord's. Points are awarded: two for a win, one for a tie or no result. The top three teams advance — the top team goes straight to the final, while second and third play an eliminator.
2026 Women's Standings
The women's competition mirrors the men's format and runs concurrently. England women's internationals feature heavily alongside overseas stars. Viewership has grown significantly since the 2021 launch, making it the flagship domestic women's competition in England.
Key Teams to Watch
Oval Invincibles, Southern Brave, and Trent Rockets have been consistent front-runners in previous editions. Welsh Fire and Manchester Originals showed improved form in 2026 thanks to strong overseas signings secured in the player draft.
100-Ball Format Quick Reference
Each inning = 100 balls. Bowlers bowl in 5 or 10-ball spells. No over concept — just ball count. A bowler cannot exceed 20 balls per match. Powerplay covers the first 25 balls with fielding restrictions.
