Hampshire Cricket Tickets Now On General Sale For 2026 Season

From the high-energy Vitality Blast and a 25-year celebration against Surrey, to first-class County Championship cricket and the return of the Women’s Metro Bank One Day Cup Final, your summer of cricket starts now.

Vitality Blast Returns

The Vitality Blast begins with a T20 Double Header away at Somerset on Friday 22nd May as part of the national Vitality Blast Off weekend.

Hampshire Hawks then return to Utilita Bowl for three huge home matchdays in quick succession:

• Tuesday 26th May – T20 Double Header v Essex

• Friday 29th May – T20 Double Header v Surrey – Party Like It’s 2001

• Tuesday 2nd June – El Clasicoast Derby v Sussex Sharks

The Friday 29th May clash with Surrey will headline the early summer schedule, as Hampshire celebrate 25 years since the venue's opening. Dubbed Party Like It’s 2001, the fixture promises to be one of the standout occasions of the season and is expected to be in high demand.

James Vince’s side will once again be supercharged by exciting overseas talent, with Tristan Stubbs and Hilton Cartwright adding firepower to the Hawks' batting line-up, whilst Georgia Adams' team has enlisted the big-hitting leg-spin bowling all-rounder Amanda-Jade Wellington for the entirety of the Blast and One Day Cup.

Metro Bank One Day Cup – 50-Over Cricket Across The Summer

After The Hundred window in late July and August, 50-over cricket returns to Utilita Bowl - including a standout fixture on Wednesday 26th August, as Hampshire Women host Lancashire in a rematch of last season’s Final, which promises to be a compelling contest between two of the competition’s strongest sides.

Women’s Metro Bank One Day Cup fixtures are priced from just £10 for adults and £5 for under-17s.

The Men’s competition begins on Friday 24th July, with Nick Gubbins leading Hampshire against Middlesex at Utilita Bowl, followed by three further home fixtures as the side aims to improve on last season’s runners-up finish.
