When are the rest of the 2026 fixtures being released?
Nottinghamshire’s fixtures in the Rothesay County Championship, along with Notts and The Blaze’s games in the Metro Bank One Day Cup, will be announced at 10am on Thursday 27 November.
When will the knockout stages and Finals Days for the T20 competitions take place?
The top four sides in the Vitality Blast women’s competition progress straight to Finals Day at the Kia Oval, London, on Friday 17 July.
In the men’s competition, the top two teams in each group, plus the two highest-scoring third-placed teams, will progress to the quarter finals on Wednesday 15 July, before Finals Day at Edgbaston on Saturday 18 July.
Both Finals Days will consist of two semi-finals, before the showpiece final in the evening.
Will one ticket get me into both halves of a double-header at Trent Bridge?
Yes – for each double-header at Trent Bridge, your match ticket will grant you entry to both the men’s and women’s fixture.
Why don’t Notts and The Blaze play each team twice, home and away, in the Vitality Blast?
Both the Vitality Blast men’s and women’s group stages feature 12 games next year – down from 14 in 2025 – after changes to the schedule were agreed last summer.
The men’s competition is now split into North, Central and South groups – each featuring six teams.
- Group 1: Notts Outlaws, Derbyshire Falcons, Lancashire Lightning, Durham, Yorkshire and Leicestershire Foxes
- Group 2: Gloucestershire, Northamptonshire Steelbacks, Warwickshire Bears, Somerset, Glamorgan, Worcestershire Rapids
- Group 3: Surrey, Sussex Sharks, Kent Spitfires, Middlesex, Essex, Hampshire Hawks
Notts will play against their five Group 1 stablemates, home and away.
Each team then plays one home and one away fixture against opponents randomly selected from other groups. In 2026, Notts will host Warwickshire Bears, and travel to Kent.
The women’s Vitality Blast group stage has been reduced from 14 to 12 games in line with changes to the men’s competition. With Yorkshire added to Tier 1 in 2026, there will be nine teams in Tier 1, meaning that Hampshire and Somerset will not travel to face The Blaze next summer.
What does a Nottinghamshire membership entitle me to?
Nottinghamshire members are entitled entry to every scheduled home fixture for Notts and The Blaze, across the Rothesay County Championship, Vitality Blast and Metro Bank One Day Cup. A host of additional perks, including voting rights and priority access to knockout fixtures, are also available.
What are the start times of fixtures in the Vitality Blast?
Vitality Blast start times are to be confirmed, and will be communicated through Nottinghamshire and The Blaze’s social media channels, and on the Trent Bridge website, in due course.
