YORKSHIRE have this morning released their first set of T20 Blast fixtures since dropping the Vikings moniker.
Earlier in the week, the county revealed their 2025 Brand Launch as One Rose, One Club, One Yorkshire.
With the Northern Diamonds no longer existing, Yorkshire Women will resume life as a Tier 2 side, before moving up to Tier 1 and the cream of the crop in 2026.
On top of that, Yorkshire’s T20 side will now not have the Vikings name, which had been used for the Blast since 2013.
In a nutshell, it means all of Yorkshire’s teams, men and women, red-ball and white-ball, will play under the Yorkshire Rose, with neither a Viking nor a Diamond in sight.
Here are Yorkshire’s newly-released North Group fixtures in the Vitality Blast, which get underway on May 30:
30th May – Yorkshire Men v Northamptonshire Steelbacks (H)
1st June – Worcestershire Rapids v Yorkshire Men (A)
6th June – Birmingham Bears v Yorkshire Men (A)
8th June – Yorkshire Men v Leicestershire Foxes (H)*
11th June – Notts Outlaws v Yorkshire Men (A)
13th June – Yorkshire Men v Birmingham Bears (H)
15th June – Yorkshire Men v Durham (H – at York)
20th June – Durham v Yorkshire Men (A)
4th July – Yorkshire Men v Worcestershire Rapids (H)
6th July – Derbyshire Falcons v Yorkshire Men (A)
11th July – Lancashire Lightning v Yorkshire Men (A)
13th July – Yorkshire Men v Derbyshire Falcons (H)*
17th July – Yorkshire Men v Lancashire Lightning (H)
18th July – Leicestershire Foxes v Yorkshire Men (A)*
If Yorkshire make it out of the group stage, they will play their quarter-final on September 6, with Finals Day on September 13.
The stars denote that those fixtures are part of a double header with the Yorkshire women.
They have eight group games, three of those alongside the men, before a potential Finals Day appearance on July 26.
The men’s team will also play their first-ever T20 game at York’s Clifton Park, against Durham on June 15.
