Hotels for The Hundred 2026 at Edgbaston

Birmingham Phoenix host their Hundred 2026 match days at Edgbaston Stadium, one of England's noisiest and most celebrated cricket grounds, with double-headers through the tournament window from 21 July to Finals Day on 16 August. Edgbaston is famous for the volume and passion of its home support — an atmosphere that makes it an exceptional base for franchise cricket, and the Phoenix draw it out to the fullest.

Individual match days vary across the window — check the full fixture list for Edgbaston games. Buses run frequently from Birmingham city centre, and New Street station links the city to the wider network. Stay in central Birmingham near the canals, Brindleyplace and the broad range of bars and restaurants, and you are within easy reach of the ground for any match day.

The Hundred, launched by the ECB in 2021, is a 100-ball competition of eight city teams playing men's and women's matches side by side, and few venues suit its noise and colour like Edgbaston. The home of Warwickshire and a Test ground since 1902, the Birmingham arena has grown into one of the loudest in world cricket, its Eric Hollies Stand famous for fancy dress and full-throated support.

It staged the closest finish in Ashes history in 2005, when England edged Australia by just two runs, and hosted Brian Lara's world-record 501 not out for Warwickshire in 1994, still the highest first-class score ever made. Birmingham Phoenix draw on that fervour in The Hundred, where a packed Edgbaston double-header is among the best atmospheres the competition has to offer.

One of England's premier cricket grounds, Edgbaston in south Birmingham is famous for its raucous atmosphere and regularly stages Test matches and floodlit international nights. The leafy, upmarket Edgbaston district around it offers a calmer contrast, with the city centre a short ride away for wider dining and nightlife.

Buses run frequently from the centre, and New Street station is close by. A room in central Birmingham keeps everything within easy reach, turning a full day at the cricket into a relaxed evening out.
