The 2024 The Hundred season was the fourth 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.
The women's London Spirit won their first trophy, while the men's Oval Invincibles defended their title from 2023.
The eight teams that competed in the 2023 season returned for a fourth year.
As with the previous iterations of this competition, eight city-based teams will compete for the men's and women's titles over a month between 23 July and 18 August 2024.
The eight city-based teams will compete over 64 matches in the group stage (32 men's, 32 women's). All of the men's and women's matches will be held on the same day at the same grounds, with one ticket giving access to both contests.
Each team will play four matches at home and four matches away. This includes one match against every other side in the competition and then a bonus match against their nearest regional rivals.
After the league stage is complete, the top three teams will compete in the knockout stage to decide the ultimate champions. The second and third teams will meet in an eliminator at The Oval in London. The winner of the eliminator will then meet the team that finishes top of the league, in the final at Lord's.
Player retentions for all eight teams were confirmed ahead of the draft in March. The draft took place on 20 March 2024. Wildcard picks were confirmed on 24 June 2024.
