Discover everything about The Hundred 2025, including live streaming options, TV channels, full schedule, teams, and squads. Get details on where to watch in the UK, India, and more, plus key dates and player updates for the 100-ball cricket tournament.

Hundred League – 100 Ball Cricket Tournament

The Hundred is a unique cricket league featuring eight men’s and women’s teams competing in a 100-ball format. Unlike traditional T20 matches with 20 overs, each team faces 100 balls per innings, making games faster and more accessible.

Launched in 2021, the tournament runs during the UK’s school summer holidays, attracting families and young fans. Matches last about two and a half hours, with men’s and women’s games played as double-headers at the same venues.

Matches are held at eight iconic venues: Lord’s (London), Emirates Old Trafford (Manchester), Headingley (Leeds), Edgbaston (Birmingham), Kennington Oval (London), Sophia Gardens (Cardiff), The Rose Bowl (Southampton), and Trent Bridge (Nottingham).

Match Format

Each team plays 100 balls per innings, with five bowlers delivering up to 20 balls each (in sets of five or ten). A 90-second strategic timeout is allowed after the first 25 balls. If a match ties, a “Super 5” (five extra balls) decides the winner.
