Rashid Khan, left, Kate Cross, centre, and Liam Livingstone have all signed deals to play in The Hundred for 2026.

The Hundred's inaugural player auction will be held in London on 11 and 12 March. For the first five editions of the competition, players were allocated to teams via a draft system with a set of salary tiers. But following substantial private investment in The Hundred, players not already signed or retained will now have their team and pay set by an auction.

Squads will be made up of between 16 to 18 players, while there is a salary cap limit along with a salary collar, a minimum amount teams must spend. The salary pot in the men's competition for 2026 has risen by 45% to £2.05m per side, and the fund for women's teams has increased by 100% to £880,000. The minimum salary for a female player has also risen by 50% to £15,000, while the number of overseas players permitted in both competitions increases from three to four.

Here is how the squads are looking after each team was given the opportunity to sign or retain up to four players each prior to the auction.
