The Hundred is back for a second year with extensive TV coverage to savour throughout the summer.

Reigning champions in the women’s event, the Oval Invincibles, and men’s champions, Southern Brave, will return to defend their titles in 2022.

A number of big names, including an array of England international stars, will take to pitches across the nation as the action gets under way – and if you can’t make it to a game, fear not.

BBC and Sky Sports will bring every game between them to the nation live on TV. Around 16.1 million fans tuned in across the span of last year’s tournament, and will be keen to see the short-format game return this summer.

RadioTimes.com brings you all the details you need to know about how to watch The Hundred, including the fixture list, TV schedule, channel information, dates and times.

How to watch The Hundred

The Hundred is readily available to watch across a range of platforms, from Sky Sports to BBC.

Sky Sports are the key rights holders with every single match to be made available on their platforms. You can also sign up for a NOW Membership pass – for a day or a month – to soak up all the action.

BBC boasts the rights to show 18 matches across the tournament on BBC Two, including both the women’s and men’s finals.

The Hundred TV schedule

Women’s and men’s matches will be played on the same day, in the same location, one after the other from Thursday 11th August.

The first round of eight women’s group stage matches has been cancelled in 2022 to avoid clashing with women’s T20 cricket featuring at the Commonwealth Games.

Every game will be shown live on Sky Sports Cricket, Main Event, Mix or the Sky Sports app. We have highlighted the matches being shown on BBC below:

The Hundred rules

Of course, one of the major talking points of the tournament has been the drastic shake-up of rules and language used to describe the action.

‘Wickets’ have been scrapped in favour of ‘outs’ and ‘overs’ replaced with ‘balls’ as part of the overhaul, while there are rule changes which see bowlers bowl five or 10-ball stints, as opposed to a traditional six-ball over.

Check out our full guide to The Hundred rules for more information, details, terminology and more so you can work out what’s going on.
