Utilita Bowl is the home of Hampshire Cricket and Southern Brave, whilst also hosting England internationals and the ICC Women's T20 World Cup in 2026.

Join Hampshire as they compete in the traditional four-day Rothesay County Championship competition, ahead of both men's and women's sides turning attention to the action-packed Vitality Blast T20 competition as Hampshire Hawks in May-July.

Hampshire then return to compete in the Metro Bank One Day Cup - the 50-over competition in which both sides finished runners-up in 2025 - and the Final of the Women's competition, to be hosted once again at Utilita Bowl on Saturday 19th September 2026.

July and August will once again see The Hundred land at Utilita Bowl for four spectacular men's and women's double header matchdays.

Cricket’s greatest rivalry will then arrive at Utilita Bowl in 2027, as England and Australia go head-to-head in an Ashes Test Match, which promises to be one of the biggest and most in-demand sporting occasions ever hosted at the venue.
