Fans on the south coast can look forward to another season of world-class men's and women's cricket as Southern Brave's fixtures for the 2023 edition of The Hundred are now available
The Hundred is heading back to the South Coast for 2023, bringing with it four weeks of spectacular entertainment and intense cricket action at the height of the summer.
After two hugely successful years, the competition is set to kick off on Tuesday 1st August at Trent Bridge, promising high octane men’s and women’s sporting action, live music, and a host of family-friendly entertainment.
The South Coast will host its first home fixture on Friday 4th August, with both Southern Brave men’s and women’s teams kicking off their competition against Welsh Fire.
The Brave will then be back at home for the first of three double-headers on Sunday 6th August, taking on Northern Superchargers, before their final two matchdays on Wednesday 16th August against Birmingham Phoenix and Saturday 19th August versus Oval Invincibles.
More than half a million people attended games during The Hundred’s second year in 2022, including a record-breaking 271,000 watching live women’s fixtures across the competition and more families buying tickets than in 2021.
All matchdays at The Ageas Bowl were sold out last year, with a new record crowd for a domestic women’s match set as nearly 9,000 fans attended Southern Brave v Trent Rockets.
Alongside world-class cricket, fans were treated to memorable performances from a diverse line-up of artists and DJs including headliners Bastille and Caity Baser, thanks to The Hundred’s ongoing partnership with BBC Music Introducing.
There will be an initial, exclusive window to purchase tickets from 1st–14th March for anyone who has previously bought tickets for The Hundred.
Those yet to attend can sign up in advance at thehundred.com for priority ticket access from 5th–18th April. Tickets will then go on general sale on Thursday 20th April. Tickets this year remain great value in line with 2022 pricing, with prices set at £5 for juniors aged 6-15, free for children five and under, and adults starting from £10.
The Hundred Eliminator, where second and third placed teams fight it out for a place in the final, is set for Saturday 26th August at The Kia Oval. The Final itself will take place on Sunday 27th August at Lord’s.
For the first time this year The Hundred will see both the men’s and the women’s competitions host a draft. The date The Hundred Draft is due to be held is Thursday 2nd March. Deadline day – the day on which retained players are confirmed across both competitions – is set to be Thursday 16th February.
The atmosphere at The Ageas Bowl is always electric for Southern Brave matches. The crowd makes a real difference to us, and hearing the chants of 'Green Army' really helps spur us on. As a group, we can’t wait to get started on August 4th.
James Vince, Southern Brave men's captain
I'm really excited to be playing for Southern Brave again this summer. The atmosphere at The Ageas Bowl has been incredible and to see record crowds for women's matches means a lot to us as players. Hopefully next year we can go one better than we did in 2022 and lift the trophy.
Lauren Bell, Southern Brave fast bowler
