The 2023 Vitality Blast was the twenty-first edition of the T20 Blast currently known as the Vitality 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 run by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and was 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]
Somerset and the Hampshire Hawks won their home quarter-finals, while the Essex Eagles and Surrey also secured a place at Finals day with away wins against the Birmingham Bears and Lancashire Lightning respectively, thus producing an all South Group finals for only the second time; the last occurrence being in 2021. In the final, Somerset beat the Essex Eagles by 14 runs to win their second title after an 18-year wait.[4] Somerset won 15 of their 17 fixtures in the 2023 Vitality Blast, setting a new domestic T20 competition record for the number of wins in a season.
