The 2023 Vitality Blast was the 2023 season of the T20 Blast, a professional Twenty20 cricket league played in England and Wales. The tournament was held from 20 May to 15 July 2023.[1] It was the sixth season in which the domestic T20 competition, run by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), is branded as the Vitality Blast due to the tournament's sponsorship.[2] The Hampshire Hawks were the defending champions, having won their third title during the previous season.[3] On 30 November 2022, the ECB announced the fixtures for the tournament.[1]
