Where to watch and stream 2021/22 BBL finals live in Australia

Australia's Big Bash League is celebrating its 11th season of colour, big hits and classic catches in BBL|11. A full season has been enjoyed after the pandemic interrupted parts of the 2020/21 campaign.

What didn't change last season was the champion, with the Sydney Sixers sealing a second straight title and a record-equalling third overall. Perth Scorchers, who finished runners-up last season, also have 3 tournament wins.

Once again there will be a mix of top and emerging Australian talents plus plenty of overseas influence across the 8 teams. These are the details you need to know.

The rights to stream the Big Bash League rest with Fox Cricket and Channel 7. Foxtel iQ, Foxtel Now and Kayo Sports have the rights to all 61 games courtesy of Fox Cricket, including finals.
