The Hundred’s sixth season runs from 21 July to 16 August 2026, and it arrives with a completely new ownership landscape.
IPL franchise groups now control half the competition: Reliance Industries rebranded Oval Invincibles as MI London, Sun TV Network turned Northern Superchargers into Sunrisers Leeds, and RPSG Group transformed Manchester Originals into Manchester Super Giants.

Sky Sports remains the tournament’s broadcast home in the UK, carrying all 32 men’s group matches plus the Eliminator and Final. For viewers outside Britain, the broadcast map stretches across eight territories.

Tips for Watching The Hundred 2026
- For Indian fans, weekend afternoon matches (6:30 PM IST) are the most watchable live; set alerts for those fixtures specifically
- If using FanCode, buy the tour pass early to avoid paying per match across 34 games
- In the UK, the 16 free-to-air BBC matches are the simplest entry point if you do not have a Sky subscription
- Download The Hundred App for digital tickets, live updates and interactive features even if you are watching on TV
- UK viewers can pair BBC Sounds radio commentary with the Sky Sports TV feed if they prefer a different commentary team
- Check the BBC schedule closer to July to confirm which 16 of the 34 men’s matches are on free-to-air television
- The Eliminator is at The Oval and the Final at Lord’s, both on 16 August; if any match deserves a screen rather than a phone, it is those two
New Owners, New Names, Same Tournament Worth Watching
The IPL money that poured into The Hundred’s ownership restructure makes this the most commercially significant edition the competition has staged.
MI London chasing four straight men’s titles under Reliance ownership, Sunrisers Leeds defending the women’s crown with Sun TV behind them, and a first-ever player auction that valued James Coles at 390,000 pounds at the age of 21 all point to a league that has matured well beyond its experimental beginnings.
For Indian viewers, FanCode remains the most likely streaming home, and the 10:30 PM IST start for evening games is late but not unmanageable if the cricket delivers.
