The Hundred 2026 auction: Direct signings and retentions

All eight franchises were allowed to sign a maximum of three players directly, and retain a fourth from last year’s team, with the men’s squad having a salary cap of £2.05m, and the women's sides capped at £880,000.

All men’s teams directly signed/retained four players each, and saw £950,000 chipped off their salary caps as a result. The women’s teams with four pre-auction signings had £360,000 taken off their budget, while the remaining four sides signed/retained three and had £310,000 deducted from their auction pot.
