The firm's branding will be present across the Decision Review System, on both the big screen at all eight venues for The Hundred, as well as on broadcast coverage of games.
In addition, from 2027 onwards, the player auction in advance of each edition of the tournament will be presented by Monzo, while the brand will also operate fan engagement zones on select match days this coming season (including at The Hundred Final).
The 2026 edition of The Hundred will begin on July 21 and will run through until both finals take place on August 16.
This deal comes with the eight franchises from The Hundred all now part-owned (both the men's and women's teams) by private investors, a process that was completed last summer.
Ben Bradley, head of commercial partnerships for The Hundred, commented: "Monzo is a brand that has challenged convention in its own sector, with a strong connection to modern, digitally engaged audiences, so there is a natural alignment with The Hundred. We’re excited to work together to bring fresh energy to the matchday experience and help take cricket to new and diverse fans across England and Wales this summer.”
Other brands set to be sponsors of The Hundred in 2026 include insurance broker Compare the Market, and KP Snacks (sleeve sponsor for all teams).
Charlotte Ford, Monzo's senior director of brand, content, and partnerships, added: "Monzo is proud to feature alongside the world’s leading cricketers and to join the competition’s broad and passionate fanbase. We can’t wait to introduce the magic of Monzo to the heart of The Hundred.”
Elsewhere in the world of sports sponsorship, Monzo is also a partner of newly-promoted top-tier English soccer side Coventry City.
