Cricket Australia has announced a thrilling and action-packed schedule for the Big Bash League (BBL) Season 14, promising every match to be a blockbuster event. The 44-game season filled with uninterrupted cricket every night, including six double headers.

The BBL 14 season kicks off on Sunday, December 15, at Optus Stadium with the Perth Scorchers facing Melbourne Stars, immediately following Day 2 of the Brisbane Test.

This season includes a series of 14 BBL matches coinciding with the Men’s Border-Gavaskar Trophy Series, potentially featuring returning Australian Test players after the series concludes on January 7, thanks to a larger window for their participation in January.

The regular season runs uninterrupted from December 15 to January 19, excluding Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, ensuring fans can enjoy consistent Big Bash cricket. The finals series begins on January 21, concluding with the Final on January 27, a national public holiday.

Fans can look forward to thrilling 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 variety to the season’s 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.”
