Teams and venues
Venues in England and Wales
The eight teams that competed in the 2021 season returned for a second year.
Background
Match schedule
The majority of the men's and women's matches were held on the same day at the same grounds, with a single ticket giving access to both contests. Each men's team played four matches at home and four away, facing every other team once, plus a bonus match against their nearest regional rival.[1]
The women's competition in 2022 was affected by the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, which reduced the availability of players at the start of the tournament. As a result, the women's tournament began a week later, and each team played only six group-stage matches, meaning some teams did not meet each other.[2]
Knockout stage
Once the league stage was completed, the top three teams advanced to the knockout stage. The second- and third-placed teams contested a semi-final at the Rose Bowl in Southampton, with the winner facing the first-placed team in the final at Lord's.[3]

Inaugural season impact
The inaugural 2021 The Hundred season was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic but sold over 500,000 tickets and was seen as a significant boost for women's cricket.[4][5]
With the easing of pandemic restrictions, more overseas players were expected to participate in the second season.[6]
Player salaries
Player salaries were also increased for the 2022 season. Male players received a 25% raise, with each team allowed up to £1 million for wages, while female players’ salaries more than doubled to £250,000 per side.[7][8]
Draft and retention
Women
Women's teams were allowed to retain an unlimited number of players from the previous season.[9] The teams chose to retain between five and twelve players.[10] The remaining places were filled during the Women's Selection Process[11] and the Overseas Wildcard Draft.[12]
Men
Men's teams were allowed to retain up to ten players from the previous season by negotiating new contracts directly with players until the retention window closed.[13]
A player draft then took place in May to fill the forty-two remaining squad players, with teams taking turns to sign available players in vacant salary bands. Picks were in reverse order of where a team finished in the previous season.[14]
