During the 2026 edition of The Hundred, London Spirit experienced consecutive defeats in both the women's and men's stages. On 3 August, the women's side lost to Sunrisers Leeds by five wickets, a result that kept their qualification hopes precarious and left them near the bottom of the table. Two days later, the men's team was eliminated after a four‑wicket loss to MI London at Lord's, marking the first team to exit the tournament. The back‑to‑back losses highlighted a challenging period for London Spirit across both genders as the competition progressed toward its playoff phase.
