Check out the fixtures for the Vitality Blast women's competition in 2025, which starts on Friday May 30 and concludes with the first-ever Vitality Blast Women’s Finals Day.

The 2025 season will be the first time all women's and men's county teams will play side-by-side in the Vitality Blast, while the women's teams play across two Vitality Blast competitions - one contested by the eight counties from Tier One and the second featuring the 10 remaining counties.

Vitality Blast Group: Bears, Durham, Essex, Hampshire Hawks, Lancashire Thunder, Somerset, Surrey, The Blaze.

The other 10 teams competing in the Vitality Blast Women's League 2 are split into two groups of five, with each county playing eight group-stage matches and the top two from both qualifying for Finals Day.

North Group: Derbyshire Falcons, Leicestershire Foxes, Northamptonshire Steelbacks, Worcestershire Rapids, Yorkshire.

South Group: Glamorgan, Gloucestershire, Kent, Middlesex, Sussex Sharks.
