The 2021 County Championship (referred to as the LV= Insurance County Championship for sponsorship reasons) is the 121st cricket County Championship season in England and Wales.[1] For the first phase of the tournament, the teams were split into three groups of six, with each side playing ten matches.[2] The top two teams from each group will then move into Division One for the second phase of the competition, with the other teams progressing to Divisions Two and Three.[3] The team that finishes top of Division One will be the county champions; the top two teams from Division One will then contest a five-day match at Lord's for the Bob Willis Trophy.[4] On 17 December 2020, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) confirmed all the fixtures for the tournament.[5][6]
