In total, 52 men's and women's double-headers will be staged next season.
The tournament begins with the 'Blast-Off weekend' from Thursday, May 29 until Sunday, June 1, with 10 double-headers taking place over that period.
The opening day will see Lancashire Lightning hosting Worcestershire Rapids at Old Trafford in the men's tournament, while Middlesex and Sussex Sharks will meet at Lord's in the first double-header.
