Nottinghamshire will begin their Rothesay County Championship Division One campaign with successive home games against Durham and Essex, while The Blaze will stage seven fixtures at Trent Bridge in 2025 - up from four in 2024.

The Green and Golds’ red-ball fixture list has now been confirmed, along with Notts and The Blaze’s Metro Bank One Day Cup schedule - with men’s and women’s Vitality Blast fixtures having been released last week.

In all, Nottinghamshire’s men are set to play 39 days of cricket (28 Rothesay County Championship, 7 Vitality Blast, 4 Metro Bank One Day Cup) at home - including two 50 over fixtures at the John Fretwell Centre, Sookholme. 

Meanwhile The Blaze, in their first season as a Tier One team within ECB’s domestic restructure of women’s cricket, will play three of their Metro Bank One Day Cup games at Trent Bridge - while four of their Vitality Blast fixtures will form part of double-headers at the West Bridgford venue. 

Notts to start and finish County Championship season at Trent Bridge

Nottinghamshire will play seven four-day fixtures in an opening block of red-ball cricket - including the opening two rounds at Trent Bridge, before the Vitality Blast gets underway on May 30.

Two Rothesay County Championship games will be played amidst the Blast in late June, with Notts hosting Yorkshire before travelling to the South West to face Somerset. 

The campaign resumes in earnest on July 22 with successive games against Hampshire and Somerset - the latter being staged at Trent Bridge - before the final block of games against Worcestershire, Surrey and, finally, Warwickshire on 24 September. 

The two rounds of County Championship cricket at the end of June, along with two rounds at the end of July, will see Kookaburra balls used.
