The League 1 fixtures will feature eight fully professional counties — Durham, Essex, Hampshire (The Blaze), Lancashire, Nottinghamshire, Somerset, Surrey, and Warwickshire (Bears). Alongside this, a League 2 division will comprise 10 Tier 2 and Tier 3 counties.

In League 1, teams will follow a double round-robin format, with each team contesting 14 group-stage matches (home and away). The top four sides will progress to the semi-finals, setting the stage for a high-stakes conclusion to the tournament.

Meanwhile, League 2 will see its 10 teams compete in a single round-robin format, with each side playing nine group-stage matches. The top four teams from League 2 will then advance to the semi-final, followed by the League 2 Final on September 14.

League 2 teams: Derbyshire Falcons, Glamorgan, Gloucestershire, Kent, Leicestershire Foxes, Middlesex, Northamptonshire Steelbacks, Sussex Sharks, Worcestershire Rapids, and Yorkshire.
