As the 2021 County season gets underway, we will see Middlesex will go up against Somerset for their first home game in the championship. With the new format in place for 2021, the 18 first-class counties have been divided into three groups of six teams each. As per the new rules, each side will place the five other teams in their group twice, once at home and once away, making a total of 10 games for each county. The top two teams in each group will go on to the Division One playoffs where they will play an additional four games to add to their points.
