The Hundred (Men’s) 2024: Complete Schedule – Dates, Venues and Match Time

January 23, 2024

Complete schedule of The Hundred Men's 2024

The highly anticipated schedule for The Hundred Men’s Edition 2024 was officially released on Tuesday, unveiling a thrilling lineup of matches set to captivate cricket enthusiasts. The tournament, featuring eight formidable teams, is scheduled to kick off on July 23 and conclude with the grand final at Lord’s on August 18.

Exciting opener at Edgbaston

The inaugural match of the tournament will witness a clash between Birmingham Phoenix and Oval Invincibles at Edgbaston on July 23. The showdown promises to set the tone for an action-packed competition as teams vie for supremacy in the dynamic format of The Hundred.

Group stage highlights

The group stage is slated to run until Thursday, August 15, treating fans to a plethora of thrilling encounters as teams battle for a spot in the knockout stages. A notable feature of the schedule is the clash of cricketing titans, with some fixtures coinciding with the second (July 18-22) and third Tests (July 26-30) between England and West Indies. This scheduling quirk may result in limited availability for England’s men’s Test players in the early stages of The Hundred.

Star players’ unavailability

The initial fixtures will witness restricted participation from England’s men’s Test players due to their commitments in the Test series against West Indies. However, the cricketing calendar has been considered to minimize clashes with international obligations. Notably, the subsequent Test series against Sri Lanka is set to commence on August 21, a strategically planned three days after The Hundred final, ensuring the availability of star players for the climax of the tournament.

Road to the finals

As the group stage concludes, the excitement will escalate with the Eliminator scheduled to take place at the Kia Oval on August 17. The knockout stage promises intense battles, leading up to the grand finale at the iconic Lord’s cricket ground on August 18. Cricket enthusiasts worldwide are eagerly anticipating a spectacular conclusion to The Hundred Men’s Edition 2024.
