Fixtures

Hampshire Hawks kick-off their 2026 Vitality Blast campaign with a double header away to Somerset on 22 May, a repeat of the dramatic Men’s Final in September where Hampshire narrowly missed out on the trophy.

Half-term double headers then kick off the Hawks’ home schedule on 26 and 29 May against Essex and Surrey, offering two huge days of action for fans and families. The Surrey fixture on 29 May is expected to be one of the highlights of the group stage, bringing some of domestic cricket’s biggest names to the south coast for a high-profile double header.

One of T20 cricket’s most iconic rivalries resumes on 2 June, as James Vince’s Hawks face Sussex Sharks at Utilita Bowl in the latest chapter of the El Clasicoast derby.

A standout fixture of the 2026 schedule sees the Hawks host Yorkshire on 26 June in a men’s and women’s double header. It will be only the second ever men’s T20 meeting between Hampshire and Yorkshire, following the 2012 Final at Sophia Gardens. The match also marks the first time the Hawks Women have faced the White Rose, with Yorkshire entering their debut year as a Tier One team.
