Cricket Australia has revealed an exciting schedule for the Big Bash League (BBL) Season 14, promising fans an action-packed series of matches. The season features 44 games, with thrilling cricket every night, including six double headers.
The BBL 14 season starts on Sunday, December 15, at Optus Stadium, where the Perth Scorchers will face the Melbourne Stars right after Day 2 of the Brisbane Test.
This season will also feature 14 BBL matches running alongside the Men’s Border-Gavaskar Trophy Series. Australian Test players may return to the BBL after the series ends on January 7, thanks to a larger window for their participation.
The regular season runs uninterrupted from December 15 to January 19, except for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, ensuring continuous cricket entertainment. The finals series begins on January 21 and ends with the Final on January 27, a national public holiday.
Fans can look forward to exciting Melbourne Derbies between the Renegades and Stars on January 4 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground and January 12 at Marvel Stadium. Additionally, four clubs will host matches outside their traditional venues, adding more variety to the fixtures.
Alistair Dobson, Cricket Australia’s General Manager, Big Bash Leagues, said:
“The League is delighted to deliver fans a schedule of 44 blockbuster matches for BBL 14.
“This is a brilliant schedule for fans, with uninterrupted action every night of the regular season and all the marquee games our fans love. We also can’t wait to welcome back members of the Australian Test team once again in January, taking advantage of a bigger window following the Border-Gavaskar Trophy Series.
“The shift to an optimised competition length last season, together with the recruitment of world class players, led to incredible crowds and experiences off the field and cricket on it. We can’t wait to see that grow in BBL 14.”
