The Hundred 2023

Teams and venues

The eight teams that competed in the 2022 season returned for a third year.

Draft and Retention

As in previous editions, eight city-based teams competed for both the men's and women's titles over a month, from 1 August to 27 August 2023. Teams were selected through the draft and retention system, which allowed franchises to retain key players from previous seasons while filling remaining slots through the draft.

Salaries and Prize Money

Salaries for male and female competitors were frozen at 2022 levels. Men earned between £30,000 and £125,000, while women earned between £7,500 and £31,250. The total prize fund was £600,000. Each winning team received £150,000, the runner-up £75,000, and the remaining amount was distributed among players as individual awards.

Format

The group stage consisted of 64 matches (32 men's and 32 women's), with all matches held on the same day at the same grounds, accessible with a single ticket. Each team played four matches at home and four away, facing every other team once, plus a bonus match against their nearest regional rival. After the league stage, the top three teams advanced to the knockout stage. The second- and third-placed teams played a semi-final at The Oval in London, with the winner progressing to meet the first-placed team in the final at Lord's.

Women

For the first time, in 2023, a women's draft was also implemented. This was the first time such a draft had ever taken place in any major women's UK sporting event. advanced to Final advanced to the Eliminator Trent Rockets won the toss and elected to field. , Points: Southern Brave 2, Trent Rockets 0.

Men

Men's teams were allowed to retain up to ten of the previous season's men's players by negotiating new contracts directly with players until the retention window closed. A player draft then took place in May to fill the forty-two remaining squad players, with teams taking turns to sign available players in vacant salary bands. Picks were in reverse order of where a team finished in the previous season, beginning with London Spirit and ending with Southern Brave. The ECB announced that the availability of players who played in the 2023 Ashes series would be assessed at the end of the series. advanced to Final advanced to the Eliminator Southern Brave won the toss and elected to field. , Points: Trent Rockets 2, Southern Brave 0.
