The 2024 T20 Blast Finals Day is just around the corner, and it promises to be one of the biggest days of the year in domestic cricket.
Since its introduction in 2003, Twenty20 cricket has become one of the most popular forms of the sport worldwide. With its larger focus on hitting and scoring, T20 has revolutionised the modern game.
The Vitality T20 Blast was established by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) in 2003 and was the first professional Twenty20 cricket league in the world.
With most of the Vitality Blast Off men’s games done and dusted, now there's just quarter-finals, semi-finals and the all-important final to go.
In this blog, we’ve got everything you’ll need to know about the league and its thrilling, fast-and-furious matches. It’s a must-see for fans of English and Welsh cricket.
Keep reading to find out everything you need to know about this huge competition, including the remaining dates and teams left, Finals Day location, date, and how you can score premium T20 Blast Finals Day tickets with Seat Unique.

18 teams in total take part, with the sides divided into two groups of nine - one the South Group and one the North Group, depending on their location in the country.
The top four teams in each division progress through to the playoffs, to battle it out until one emerges victorious in the T20 Vitality Blast Final.
Each team plays a total of 14 games within their group. They’ll play six teams within the group twice and then the remaining two teams once.
The four teams that top each group will go into the quarter-finals, and the four winners will then go on to the Vitality Blast final.
With last year’s winner, Somerset, wanting to defend their title from last year, there’s all to play for! And you can be there in style at the Vitality Blast Finals Day 2024 with one of our VIP packages.
