The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) have today announced the schedule for the 2021 County Championship, with all 18 First-Class Counties in action when the opening round begins on Thursday 8 April.
Fixtures and dates for the remodelled 2021 Men’s County Championship have now been confirmed with a revised structure in place for next year’s competition to mitigate against the impact of COVID-19.  All teams will play 14 red-ball matches each next summer across Group and Division Stages. 
Hampshire, who have been placed in Group Two alongside Gloucestershire, Leicestershire, Middlesex, Somerset and Surrey, will begin their 2021 campaign on Thursday 8 April away to  Leicestershire in the opening round of Group Stage fixtures. James Vince’s side will then return to The Ageas Bowl to welcome Middlesex on 15 April.
Gloucestershire will be the second side to visit The Ageas Bowl (22 April) before Hampshire travel to play Surrey at the Oval on Thursday 29 April rounding off the first month of four-day action.
Three red-ball fixtures are scheduled for May with Hampshire hosting Somerset (Thursday 6 May) and Leicestershire (Thursday 20 May), whilst a visit to Lord’s to face Middlesex (Thursday 13 May) is also scheduled.
A visit to Taunton v Somerset (Thursday 3 June) is the lone four-day contest in June before Hampshire take on Surrey at The Ageas Bowl (Sunday 4 July) and Gloucestershire at Cheltenham (Sunday 11 July) in the final two Group Stage fixtures in July. 
Fixtures for the domestic men’s white-ball competitions are set to be announced in early 2021.
