- The Hundred 2026 - schedule and how to follow
Each side plays eight games in the group stage - including facing their local rivals twice - with the team who finishes top of the table progressing straight to the final.
The teams who finish second and third meet in the eliminator, with the winner of that going forward to the final.
The group stages conclude on Wednesday, 12 August. The eliminator is on Friday, 14 August at The Oval and the final is on Sunday, 16 August at Lord's.
Teams with the same number of points are separated by net run-rate initially and, if that is the same, by their head-to-head record.
Which teams have qualified in the women's competition?Trent Rockets have qualified for the final as group winners having amassed 28 points with seven wins from their eight fixtures.
Sunrisers Leeds finished second in the table with 20 points and are above Southern Brave in third on net run-rate.
Brave will play Sunrisers at The Oval in the Eliminator on Friday (14:15 BST) with the winners facing Rockets in Sunday's final at Lord's (14:15).
Manchester Super Giants, Welsh Fire, London Spirit, MI London and Birmingham Phoenix have all been eliminated.
Which teams have qualified in the men's competition?Trent Rockets have secured their place in Sunday's final at Lord's after they finished with 24 points after six wins and two defeats.
Second-placed Manchester Super Giants and Sunrisers Leeds will face each other in the Eliminator at The Oval on Friday.
MI London finished level on 20 points with Super Giants and Sunrisers but were eliminated on net run-rate.
Welsh Fire, Southern Brave,London Spirit and Birmingham Phoenix have also been eliminated.
How is net run-rate calculated?Run-rate is the average number of runs scored per over by a team in their entire innings - so, for example, a score of 140 off 20 overs equals seven runs per over.
Net run-rate is calculated by subtracting the opposition's run-rate from the other team's run-rate.
The winning side will therefore have a positive net run-rate, and the losers a negative net run-rate.
In a tournament, net run-rate is worked out by taking the average runs per over scored by that team in each game and subtracting the average runs per over scored against them in each game.
If a team is bowled out inside their allotted overs, their run-rate is calculated by dividing the runs by the maximum overs they could have batted - 20 in the case of this tournament.
Even though The Hundred does not call five balls an over, that premise is still used to calculate net run-rate.
