The Hundred 2023 was the third season of The Hundred, a professional franchise 100-ball cricket tournament involving eight men's and women's teams located in major cities across United Kingdom.
Salaries for male and female competitors were frozen at 2022 levels, with men paid between £30,000 and £125,000 and women paid between £7,500 and £31,250. [1]
Prize money was £600,000, with each winning team receiving £150,000 and each runner-up £75,000. The rest of the money went as prizes to players. [2] [3]
The eight teams that competed in the 2022 season returned for a third year. They are all franchises, operating separately from the existing county cricket clubs, with each representing a large area of England and Wales.
As with the previous iterations of this competition, eight city-based teams competed for the men's and women's titles over a month between 1 August and 27 August 2023.
The eight city-based teams competed over 64 matches in the group stage (32 men's, 32 women's). All of the men's and women's matches were held on the same day at the same grounds, with one ticket giving access to both contests.
Each team played four matches at home and four matches away. This included one match against every other side in the competition and then a bonus match against their nearest regional rivals. [4]
After the league stage was completed the top three teams competed in the knockout stage to decide the ultimate champions. The second and third teams met in a semi-final at The Oval in London. The winner of the semi-final then meet the team that finished top of the league in the final at Lord's. [5]

Men's teams were allowed to retain up to ten of the previous season's men's players by negotiating new contracts directly with players until the retention window closed. [7]
A player draft then took place in May to fill the forty-two remaining squad players, with teams taking turns to sign available players in vacant salary bands. Picks were in reverse order of where a side finished in the previous season, beginning with London Spirit and ending with Southern Brave. [8]
Players who played in the 2023 Ashes series will be assessed at the end of the series, and their availability for The Hundred decided accordingly,” an ECB spokesperson said. [9]
