Welsh Fire will be back in action in The Hundred on Thursday 7 August, with the men’s and women’s teams kicking off their campaigns at Headingley against Northern Superchargers.

Fire’s first games come two days after the fifth year of world-class cricket and blockbuster entertainment gets underway with a London derby between London Spirit and Oval Invincibles at Lord’s on Tuesday 5 August. Sophia Gardens will play host for the first time in the 2025 season on Saturday 9 August.

Both Welsh Fire teams will hope to make it all the way to Lord’s for The Hundred Final on Sunday 31 August, the culmination of 34 matchdays across 27 days of high-quality sport and compelling drama.

Saturday 30 August will see the Kia Oval host The Hundred Eliminator, in which second- and third-placed teams compete for a place in The Hundred Final.

This season, for the first time, direct signings have been permitted in The Hundred. Teams in the men’s and women’s competitions will be able to sign one new overseas player by Deadline Day on 24 February.

Grab your seat for 2025

Entering its fifth season, over two million fans have now watched The Hundred live, with one million of those fans in attendance for the women’s competition. In 2024, The Hundred’s blend of high-energy entertainment, cricket and live music – including Zara Larsson and Cat Burns – saw 41% of all tickets sold to families, with 23% to juniors and 30% to women.

Supporters who have been season ticket holders in any of the four years of The Hundred or who bought tickets for more than two matchdays in 2024 will be able to buy a season ticket from today.

There will be an exclusive window open to fans who have previously bought tickets to The Hundred from 4-18 March.
