The dates for Men’s and Women’s Vitality Blast Finals Days in 2026 have been confirmed, with both showpiece events taking place on consecutive days in July.

Following the success of the first-ever Women’s Finals Day earlier this season, the Kia Oval will again stage the showpiece event on Friday 17 July 2026.

A day later, Edgbaston will then host its 14th successive men’s Vitality Blast Men’s Finals Day, on Saturday 18 July.

The men’s and women’s Vitality Blast Finals Days are the unmissable events of the county calendar with all-action drama of three knockout matches to crown the champions.

The Blaze reached the semi-finals this summer as the inaugural Vitality Blast Women’s Finals Day saw a record attendance, and Craig Cumming’s side will look to go two better in 2026.

Meanwhile, Notts Outlaws, having lifted the Men’s Vitality Blast trophy twice, will be bidding for a seventh appearance at Finals Day next summer.

Both the men’s and women’s Vitality Blast competitions will have a new look in 2026, highlighted by the Men’s Vitality Blast Finals Day moving to July.

Both competitions will be played in a block of 12 group-stage matches before the quarter-finals (men’s only) and Finals Days immediately follow.

The men’s competition returns to three groups of six counties, which will provide a greater focus on the historic local rivalries that make the Vitality Blast unlike any other T20 competition in the world.

Yorkshire will join Tier One of the women’s Vitality Blast to create a nine-team competition next season, with Finals Day to be expanded to include four teams.
