Glamorgan face Leicestershire, Hampshire, Somerset, Warwickshire and Surrey twice.

The fixtures against Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire are the teams' only encounters, while there is also just one meeting with Sussex (away) and Essex (home).

As in previous years, the only men's matches away from Cardiff are at Neath, which hosts One-Day Cup games against Sussex and Yorkshire on 22 and 24 July to start the tournament.

The 50-overs competition is brought forward with the group stages ending on 9 August, allowing for six Championship games in the closing stages of the season.

There are also six in the opening block and just two in June, with no first-class cricket in July.
