Fixtures for Southern Brave and The Hundred this year have been confirmed, with the competition kicking off on Tuesday, 21st July, as MI London, formerly Oval Invincibles, host Sunrisers Leeds, formerly Northern Superchargers. 

Southern Brave take on local rivals Welsh Fire in their opening match at Utilita Bowl on Wednesday, 22nd July. 

Fans can expect to see pace bowlers Jofra Archer and Lauren Bell on song, along with dynamic batters Maia Bouchier and Jamie Smith.

World-class talent comes to Utilita Bowl in the form of Laura Wolvaardt, the first overseas player to score 1,000 runs in The Hundred, and Jemimah Rodrigues, plus SA20 champion Tristan Stubbs and powerful all-rounder Marcus Stoinis. 

After a trip to Headingley to face Sunrisers Leeds, the Brave host MI London before Birmingham Phoenix come to the south coast later in the week. 

Last year’s fixture against Phoenix sold out, with Utilita Bowl welcoming jam-packed crowds for every game. 

Fans are encouraged to sign up to stay up to date with all things Southern Brave and be the first to hear about tickets. 

The Brave then have back-to-back away fixtures, travelling to Lord’s and Sophia Gardens, before returning home on Saturday 8th August to face Manchester Super Giants, with homegrown Hampshire talent Liam Dawson amongst the names in the opposition. 

The 2021 men’s and 2023 women’s champions will then end their group stage in Nottingham as they take on Trent Rockets, with the Eliminators and Finals taking place on Friday 14th and Sunday 16th August, respectively. 

This year, both Eliminators and Finals will have a reserve day. 

Hospitality places and pitch-facing bedrooms at Hilton Southampton-Utilita Bowl are on sale.
