The latest season of the Big Bash League will get underway from December 15. Here’s everything about the schedule, including the full fixtures list and the match timings of the BBL 2024/25.

The much-awaited 14th edition of Australia’s premier franchise T20 competition, the Big Bash League, will be played between December 15, 2024, and January 27, 2025, with a reserve day in place on January 28, 2025, for the final.

Perth Scorchers, the league's most successful franchise will play the curtain-raiser against Melbourne Stars at Optus Stadium on Sunday, December 15.

After 40 league matches, the top four sides will qualify for the playoffs. Like last year, there will be four playoffs games in the Page Playoffs mode that is often used in the IPL. The top two teams on the points table will play against each other in the Qualifier on January 21 to qualify for the final, while the knockout on January 22 will witness a battle between the third- and the fourth-ranked teams.

The loser of the Qualifier will lock horns against the winner of the Knockout in the Challenger on January 24 to secure the other spot in the title decider.

Brisbane Heat will enter the competition as the defending champions. They will play their campaign opener against Melbourne Stars on December 18.
