Trent Bridge will play host to five of The Blaze’s eight home group-stage matches in the 2026 Metro Bank One Day Cup.

After Kirstie Gordon’s side played three home group games in West Bridgford this year, that number is set to increase to more than half of their total home programme next summer.

The season will again begin at home to defending champions Lancashire on Wednesday 15 April, before Trent Bridge hosts further games against Warwickshire, Surrey, Durham, and Somerset.

Meanwhile, further home clashes with Yorkshire and Essex will be hosted in the outground surrounds of Queen’s Park, in Chesterfield, and more information will follow on the venue for a home meeting with Hampshire.

"Year on year we’ve increased the amount of cricket The Blaze have been able to play at Trent Bridge," said Director of Cricket Mick Newell.

"Our aim has to be to keep doing that, while being mindful of the number of pitches we have available on the square.

"As everyone will be aware, we’re building new changing rooms in the Pavilion, and they’re for The Blaze as much as they’re for Notts.

"We want this place to feel like home for them when they’re playing here, while also recognising the importance of outgrounds for both our men’s and women’s teams."

A trip to Headingley to face the White Rose, newly elevated into Tier One for 2026, will be The Blaze’s first away game of the campaign, on Saturday 18 April.

The final trip of the summer will see Gordon’s charges head to Utilita Bowl to face last season’s runners-up Hampshire on Wednesday 9 September.

Additionally, the Southampton venue will again host the competition’s final, which is set to take place on Saturday 19 September.

Elsewhere, The Blaze's opponents in the Vitality T20 County Cup have been confirmed, after the side reached the last four in last year's inaugural staging of the competition. 

The Blaze will enter the competition at the third round stage, and will host Durham (venue TBC) on Sunday 21 June. The quarter-finals will take place on Sunday 23 August, before semi-finals and the final at Emirates Old Trafford on Saturday 29 August.

Meanwhile, Notts' County Championship and Metro Bank One Day Cup schedule has today been confirmed, after Vitality Blast fixtures were revealed on Tuesday.
