The Hundred 2026, on your tabletop
21 July 2026
The Hundred is back, so is the pack
The 2026 Hundred starts this week. To go with it there's a new ratings pack, running on the Down the Ground: Free Hit engine.
All eight sides are rated in both competitions, men's and women's. You get a number for how heavily they bat, how well they bowl, and how they cope with the last 25 balls at either end. Drop a team into the game and a fixture plays out in about five minutes. No arithmetic once the toss is done.
Everything for the season in one place
Inside you'll find the men's and women's ratings, the full 32-match fixture list with venues, blank league tables with the net-run-rate tiebreaker, and the playoff bracket that runs down to the Final at Lord's.
The ratings are projections, and I've been honest about that. They're built on last season's real scorecard form, then modified for the 2026 squads and pre-tournament betting market. Play a few games and move any side that feels a point out. The engine won't mind.
Pair it with the free tracker
There's a free Season Tracker app to go with it. Enter every score and it keeps the table and the playoffs for you, across both competitions, saved in your browser. No sign-up.
You'll need the Free Hit engine to play the matches out, same box as Down the Ground. If you already own it you're ready to go.
