Trent Rockets and Southern Brave will open the 2023 edition of The Hundred on 1 August at Trent Bridge.

All fixtures this season will be double-headers, with both the men's and women's competitions starting at the same time.

The women's tournament started later in 2022 because of a clash with the Commonwealth Games.

The men's and women's finals for the Hundred's third season will take place on 27 August at Lord's.

Trent Rockets are the reigning men's champions and start their defence on home soil, while Oval Invincibles, who will be aiming for a third successive women's title, begin their campaign at home against London Spirit.

Franchises will take part in a player draft for 2023, which is set to take place on 2 March - and this season will be the first time the women's competition has a draft.

Invincibles and England batter Lauren Winfield-Hill said: "Lifting the trophy with my Oval Invincibles team-mates last year was a career highlight that I'll never forget.

"The first-ever women's draft is definitely going to bring an exciting new element to the game and it will be interesting to see how the teams shape up for another fierce competition."

Across both competitions, teams are expected to announce which players they have retained from 2022 on 16 February.

Despite the success of the women's competition, none of the matchdays have a women's fixture scheduled as the second game of the day.

Last year, the opening match of the women's tournament between Oval Invincibles and Northern Superchargers was played in the evening slot, after the men had played in the afternoon.

A spokesperson for The Hundred said: "The Hundred has had a big impact on women's cricket in England and Wales since its launch in 2021, helping to increase the profile of the women's game and giving more fans than ever the chance to watch top-class women's cricket.

"Last year once again set a new global record for total attendance at a women's cricket competition, with 271,000 people attending The Hundred and we look forward to another exciting year in 2023.

"With the success of the competition in its first two years, we'll be sticking with the formula which fans of The Hundred are familiar with for 2023, but scheduling is something that we keep under constant review."
