2019/20 Big Bash League fixture
The 2019/20 Big Bash League season starts on Tuesday, December 17 and ends with the final on Saturday, February 8.
The fixture format has undergone further expansion this year, with a whopping 61 games – two more than last season – crammed into an eight-week schedule. Despite the extra games and the longer finals series, the BBL season will run a full week shorter than it did last summer.
Add in all the action from Australia’s Test series, ODIs and T20s, and you have one hell of a cricket season ahead.
After the round-robin fixture, the top four teams on the ladder will compete in semi-finals, with the two winning teams advancing to the Big Final where the highest-ranked team earns the right to host.
