A double dose of action at Welbeck Cricket Club will kick off Notts Outlaws’ 2026 Metro Bank One Day Cup programme, with a home fixture at Chesterfield CC also in store.

The Outlaws will once more be competing to reach a home showpiece, with Trent Bridge again set to host the final of the competition, on Sunday 20 September.

Early in the competition, Somerset and Warwickshire will provide the opposition at the John Fretwell Centre, with the ties taking place on Tuesday 21 and Thursday 23 July, respectively.

Once again, there is a Trent Bridge matchday in the group stage for the Outlaws, with an East Midlands derby showdown against Leicestershire Foxes set for Tuesday 28 July.

Notts’ fourth and final home game, meanwhile, will see them again take to an outground with a tie against Northamptonshire Steelbacks at Queen’s Park, Chesterfield, on Friday 7 August.

"It's really pleasing to have local opposition in Leicestershire Foxes for a Trent Bridge 50-over fixture this summer, which will provide a great opportunity for the younger players in our One Day Cup side in particular to experience a derby at our county headquarters," said Director of Cricket, Mick Newell.

"The John Fretwell Centre has become a real home-from-home over the last decade or so: we know we'll find quality pitches and strong support in the north of the county, and it's a venue where we have a really positive record in List A cricket.

"Chesterfield, meanwhile, have been great supporters of our club through their hosting of The Blaze, so we're looking forward to going there with Notts this year. It's a highly-regarded outground that's geared up for professional cricket, and is well-placed for supporters travelling from Nottingham."

On the away agenda is a first visit to Cheltenham since 2011 to face Gloucestershire on Sunday 9th August, before the group stage ends away to Surrey in Guildford on Tuesday 11th August.

In between, the other two away fixtures see the Outlaws head to Lancashire on Thursday 30th July, before making the trip to Beckenham to face Kent three days later.

The quarter-finals of the competition will take place on Friday 14th August, before the last four ties follow two days later.

Meanwhile, Notts' County Championsip schedule and The Blaze's Metro Bank One Day Cup fixtures have today been confirmed, as have The Blaze's first opponents in the Vitality T20 County Cup, after Vitality Blast fixtures were revealed on Tuesday.
