ECB website (UK) Unlock your stream with NordVPN (save up to 75%) T20 Blast 2026: Tue, May 26 Sat, July 18 (full schedule below) The shift to a three-division format has given the Vitality Blast a whole new feel for 2026, with the old North-South system making way for tighter North, Central and South groups. Two groups of nine have become three of six, and that's not the only change to the format.

The teams are set to play two fewer group games than previously, reduced from 14 apiece to 12, including one home and one away fixture against teams from a separate group. A more compact group stage shortens the gap to the knockouts, which should make it easier for teams to maintain their momentum, and for overseas stars to see the season out before being whisked away for other assignments. Somerset enter as defending champions after seeing off Hampshire to secure their third T20 Blast title and their second in three years. With defeat, the Hawks missed an opportunity to pick up a record fourth title.

Derbyshire, Durham, Glamorgan and Yorkshire are the only teams yet to taste T20 Blast glory, though the latter have a stacked team featuring Moeen Ali, Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow and BBL winners Sam Whiteman and AJ Tye.
