BBC Sport’s exciting summer continues with the return of The Hundred, offering cricket fans live games on BBC TV, radio, and online.
The BBC will broadcast 15 matches from the 2024 season of The Hundred, including an opening double header featuring both men’s and women’s games, as well as the finals day.
Isa Guha and Alex Hartley will present alongside Sir Alastair Cook, Katherine Sciver-Brunt, Tymal Mills, Heather Knight, Steven Finn, Carlos Brathwaite, Lauren Winfield-Hill, Phil Tufnell, Moeen Ali, and Jofra Archer. The games will be available on BBC2 and iPlayer. Michael Vaughan, Alison Mitchell, Henry Moeran, and Aatif Nawaz will provide commentary, while Chris Hughes and Rik Edwards will report from the grounds.
The BBC Sport website will host in-play clips of the eliminators and finals, as well as bespoke video features. Its social channels will share highlights and behind-the-scenes action.
Adam Mountford, head of cricket for BBC Sport, said: “The Hundred joins the BBC’s stellar summer of sport bringing cricket fans together with fast-paced action and entertainment. The competition is fierce between the teams across the UK and audiences can enjoy all the drama with commentary and expert analysis for the best of British sporting storytelling.”
Launched in 2021, The Hundred brings together eight teams from across seven cities, including some of the best international and domestic players from the men’s and women’s game. The teams are: Birmingham Phoenix, London Spirit, Manchester Originals, Northern Superchargers (Leeds), Oval Invincibles (London), Southern Brave (Southampton), Trent Rockets (Nottingham) and Welsh Fire (Cardiff).
England Women’s Captain and London Spirit All Rounder, Heather Knight says: “The Hundred is getting closer and we’re really excited. It’s such a huge part of the summer now and it’s great to see the BBC continue their support. I know lots of fans have enjoyed watching The Hundred on free to access TV across the last few seasons, hopefully we can make this season similarly exciting and see London Spirit go all the way.”
