WARWICKSHIRE Bears will host five doubleheaders for the men’s and women’s teams during the 2026 Vitality Blast campaign.
-
The Bears’ season officially gets under way on Friday, May 22, when both teams travel for their opening matches. The men head to Bristol to take on Gloucestershire in Bristol, and the women meet Essex in Chelmsford.
Attention then turns to Edgbaston - dubbed EdgBLASTon for the competition - two days later for the first home matchday of the campaign.
Both the men’s and women’s Bears welcome Somerset, who won the men’s Vitality Blast in 2025, and it is expected to draw one of the biggest crowds of the summer as both teams launch their home seasons together in style.
