Northern Superchargers 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 Welsh Fire.
Superchargers’ 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.
Both Northern Superchargers 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.
Amelia Kerr and Laura Wolvaardt have today been confirmed as The Hundred’s first-ever direct signings, joining Manchester Originals and Southern Brave respectively.

‘It is a great tournament to be a part of’
Harry Brook, Northern Superchargers men’s captain, said: “The Hundred is a great tournament to be a part of. You get fantastic crowds to play in front of at the biggest venues, with great support. I have absolutely loved being a part of the Superchargers. Captaining last year was a great experience, as was working alongside Fred. We have a great group of players that we will hopefully manage to retain for this year’s competition. We will be looking to build on the momentum we have started to gather as a squad over the last few seasons.”
All games will again be live on Sky Sports and BBC broadcast and digital channels throughout the competition.
