About this match
BBL|16, the sixteenth Big Bash League, has 44 matches, and Channel 6 carries all of them. The season starts on Saturday 12 December 2026, so nothing is played in October or November. The opener, Melbourne Renegades v Perth Scorchers at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai (14:40 India time, 09:10 GMT), is the first BBL game played outside Australia. Forty league games run to 17 January 2027, most of them evening starts at 19:15 in Sydney and Melbourne (08:15 GMT), with double-headers on Boxing Day and 4 January.
The league stage moves around ten Australian grounds: the Gabba, Manuka Oval, Bellerive Oval, York Park in Launceston, the MCG, Junction Oval, the SCG, Sydney Showground Stadium, Adelaide Oval and Perth Stadium. Four finals follow: the Qualifier (first v second) on 19 January, the Knockout (third v fourth) on 20 January, the Challenger on 23 January and the Final on Australia Day, Tuesday 26 January. The finals venues are still to be confirmed.
