Hampshire County Championship Overview

<h2>Hampshire's Championship Journey: Past & Present</h2>
Hampshire CCC holds a proud place in English cricket history. With multiple outright County Championship titles, the club has long been a top-tier performer in the first-class game.
In 2024, Hampshire came second in the Championship standings, pushing the eventual winners all the way. The team showcased consistency, resilience, and flashes of brilliance that marked them as genuine title contenders. Following another strong run in 2025, 2026 is shaping up to be their year to take the final step and secure the crown.
Home fixtures at the Utilita Bowl are expected to be crucial – and there's no better way to witness them than from a hospitality suite or balcony seat.
<h2>Hampshire County Championship Stats & Records</h2>
<ul>
 <li>Second place finish in 2024 County Championship</li>
 <li>Multiple outright Championship titles across their history</li>
 <li>Consistent top-tier finishes in recent seasons</li>
 <li>Compete across all formats: T20, One-Day Cup, and County Championship</li>
</ul>
<h2>Top Players to Watch in 2026</h2>
<h3>Top Batter</h3>
Jimmy Adams – Hampshire’s all-time leading run scorer, with 13,299 career runs. Though retired, his legacy continues to inspire a new generation of talent at the crease.
<h3>Top Bowler</h3>
While Chris Wood is Hampshire’s top wicket-taker in the T20 format, the Championship squad features a strong bowling unit that’s expected to be central to the club’s 2026 campaign.
Stay tuned as Hampshire announces their full squad for the upcoming season.
<h2>What Are County Championship Matches Like?</h2>
The Rothesay County Championship delivers cricket in its most traditional and strategic form – days filled with patience, precision, and momentum swings. It's a slower pace than the white-ball formats, but for the true cricket lover, it’s unmatched in depth and drama.
From your hospitality suite, you can soak in every moment with a gourmet meal, a hot drink, and a perfect view of the middle. Whether it's a sunny start or a tense final hour, the experience is elevated with every luxury touch.
