Big Bash League 2025-26: BBL 15 Dates, Timings, Schedule, Format, Full Squads, Live Streaming And More

BBL Season 15: The 2025-26 edition of the Big Bash League, Australia's premier domestic T20 competition, is scheduled to take place from Dec. 14 to Jan. 25. Australia's great T20 carnival will once again feature eight magnificent sides, including defending champions Hobart Hurricanes, Sydney Thunder, Melbourne Renegades, Melbourne Stars, Perth Scorchers, Sydney Sixers, Brisbane Heat and Adelaide Strikers, in riveting action.

The eight-team competition follows an interesting format, where each participant faces three of its rivals twice and plays one game apiece against the other four teams.

After taking part in 10 games each, the top 4 teams on the points table qualify for the play-offs stage. The top 2 sides contest the qualifier to determine the first finalist, while the teams placed third and fourth take on each other in an eliminator. The loser of the first qualifier and the winner of the eliminator then play a virtual semi-final - Qualifier 2 - to determine the other finalist.
