The fixtures for the eleventh edition of the Big Bash League has been announced with the finals slotted in for January 28 – full BBL 2021/22 schedule and start times here.

The Big Bash League will kick off on December 5 with 56 league matches to be completed in one and a half months. The play-offs will have five fixtures – Eliminator, Qualifier and Knock-Out followed by the Challenger and the Final. Unlike last year’s edition, when a select set of venues were used due to Covid-19 restrictions, the matches will follow a proper home and away scheduling this time.

The BBL 2021/22 schedule clashes with the Australia – England Ashes series which could see the Test squad members missing out on the league.
