Sussex Cricket launches ticket ballot for England Women’s International T20 at Hove

Sussex Cricket is excited to announce the opening of the official ticket ballot for the England Women’s International T20 against New Zealand Women at The 1st Central County Ground, Hove, on Monday 25 May 2026.

The ballot will open on Monday 2 September and close at 23:59 on Tuesday 30 September. By entering the ballot, fans will have the chance to guarantee their place at this unmissable fixture — and secure tickets at the lowest possible price before general sale.

Taking place during the May half-term holiday, the match is the perfect opportunity for families to enjoy a night of world-class cricket together in a friendly, welcoming atmosphere.

England Women have a rich history at Hove — with two of the last three internationals at the ground selling out — making this one of the hottest tickets of the summer. 

The 2026 clash promises another night of high-energy, world-class cricket in a family-friendly atmosphere.

 

How the ballot works:

1. Fans can enter the ballot for free via the Sussex Cricket website from 2 September.

2. Successful entrants will be notified and given the opportunity to purchase tickets at the cheapest price available.

3. Any remaining tickets will be released for general sale on 15 October.

Sussex Cricket Members and previous Women’s International purchasers will also be given an exclusive window to buy tickets before they go on general sale. 

Pete Fitzboydon, CEO of Sussex Cricket, says: “It’s always special to welcome England Women to Hove, and we know how much these matches mean to our fans and the local community, who support Women’s sport so passionately. With two of the last three sell-outs, demand will be huge again in 2026, so the ballot is the best way to make sure you don’t miss out — and to get the best price.”
