What is the 2020/21 BBL format?
The BBL introduced a new finals format last season and that has been retained for the 2020/21 campaign. It consists of an extra team making the play-offs, which is now effectively a top five, and greater rewards for the top two teams.
The sides finishing fourth and fifth have a chance to make the final, but face sudden-death matches throughout the play-offs. Whoever wins the match between them goes into another knockout against third place. Finally they play the loser of "The Qualifier" with the final awaiting.
It sounds somewhat complicated, but it makes sense. The majority of teams had complained about having a successful season just to be knocked out immediately in the finals. There's now a greater reward for dominating the regular season.
How long does a BBL match go for?
In terms of actual cricket, it is 20 overs apiece as long as there are no rain delays. Otherwise by actual time if a game goes the distance you can expect it to take a tick over three hours.

Ask an Expert
who is broadcasting the big bash at optus stadium, does no- one consider the blind who enjoy cricket but can`t see it… can not see any where that it will be on radio
Hi Bev,
We’re sorry that these details were unavailable to you originally. Due to the many different regions in Australia radio stations differ dramatically per game. You can visit the Big Bash Nation website where you’ll be able to find a full radio broadcast breakdown for every match.
Given that there are no rounds as such then what games are considered for my selected team playing in “Week 2”. i.e what are the dates for each week or is it just 7 days from today starting each Tuesday?
Hi Alan,
The BBL schedule isn’t even split into weeks, it’s simply just continuous. In some weeks teams may only play one match other times they can play two or three times. It’d be best to visit our main BBL article where you will be able to navigate to a dedicated page for your selected team. There you will find the teams specific schedule and playing squad.
Which in the fixture list are in what rounds?
Hi Alan,
The Big Bash League doesn’t actually have rounds. Instead, the schedule is listed in chronological order by date, with all teams playing in 14 games each.
