The Trent Bridge T20 Blast 2026 hosts Notts Outlaws across six double-header matchdays — every single home fixture is paired with The Blaze women’s match. Season runs 22 May to 10 July. The 31 May fixture is Kids for a Quid — all under-16 tickets just £1. Adult tickets from £10; T20 Season Ticket covers all 12 home group-stage games. Players sign autographs on the Trent Bridge outfield after every match.
Ask any county cricket fan to name the best T20 atmosphere in England outside Finals Day, and Trent Bridge regularly tops that list. The ground’s shape — tight, enclosed, raucous — amplifies crowd noise in a way that larger venues cannot replicate. Add the Bridgford Road Stand’s reputation as the party end, Nuts the Squirrel roaming the terraces, and a Notts Outlaws squad with genuine pedigree (two-time champions, 2017 and 2020), and Trent Bridge delivers one of English cricket’s great evenings.
In 2026, every single home matchday is a double-header — Notts Outlaws and The Blaze both in action, back-to-back, at Trent Bridge. Six matchdays, twelve games, one venue. If you buy a T20 Season Ticket, you are covered for all of it.
Notts Outlaws 2026 T20 Squad
Nottinghamshire are two-time T20 Blast champions (2017, 2020) and one of the most experienced T20 counties in England. Joe Clarke captains a squad featuring Ben Duckett — one of England’s most in-form white-ball batters — and overseas signing Moises Henriques, the Australian all-rounder who provides both pace bowling and middle-order batting. Olly Stone adds genuine express pace at the top of the North Group bowling rankings.
| Player | Role | Why to Watch |
|---|---|---|
| Ben Duckett | Opening bat | England batter — powerful, unorthodox and exciting to watch; one of the county game’s entertainers |
| Joe Clarke (C) | Middle-order bat / WK | Experienced T20 captain — smart game management and composed batting in pressure situations |
| Moises Henriques (OS) | All-rounder | Australian BBL star — useful seam bowling and explosive lower-order batting |
| Olly Stone | Right-arm fast bowler | Express pace — when fit, one of the most dangerous T20 bowlers in the North Group |
| Liam Patterson-White | Left-arm spin | Slow left-arm specialist — can be match-changing in the powerplay and middle overs |
| Daniel Sams | Left-arm seam | T20 specialist — death bowling expert with variations at the back end |
