The 2024 County Championship (referred to as the Vitality County Championship for sponsorship reasons) is the 124th County Championship cricket season in England and Wales.[1] As in 2023, Division One had ten teams and Division Two had eight teams.The season started on 5 April and is scheduled to finish on 29 September 2024.[2][3][4] Surrey are the defending champions.[5][6]

Hybrid pitches are being used for the first time during the 2024 season, despite previous concerns that they do not deteriorate enough during a four-day match and are therefore suitable only for limited overs cricket.[7]

Following a trial during the 2023 County Championship, when the traditional English Dukes ball was replaced for two rounds by the less bowler-friendly Australian Kookaburra, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) decided that four rounds of the 2024 season would be played with the latter. The idea behind this was to develop bowlers with the skills to compete at an international level, give spinners more of a role at the beginning of the season, and encourage batters to score quickly.[8]

After the Kookaburra had been used during the first two rounds of the 2024 season, England men's team director Rob Key hailed the experiment as a success. In the second round, batters accumulated 10 scores of 150 or more, which was a record for a set of matches starting on the same day. However, all but one of the 19 games played in the opening two rounds ended in a draw.[9]

Teams

The teams were split based on the finishing positions in the 2023 season, with 10 teams in Division One and 8 in Division Two.
