BBL 2021 Schedule | Date, Time, and Venues
The 11th season of the Big Bash League is starting on 5th December 2021, with the final being played on 28th January 2021. The BBL 2021 schedule is announced with teams having home games and away games, but the officials have indicated that they are ready to make any changes due to the Covid-19 uncertainty.
As of now, 14 venues have been decided for the tournament. The first game will see the defending champions Sydney Sixers take on Melbourne Stars at the SCG on 5th December. The finals will be played very early this year before the Australian summer so that more players from the national team can take part in the tournament.
What’s been said so far?
- The player draft has been dropped this year because of the uncertainty of Covid-19. The signing of foreign players will go on as usual without the draft.
- The tournament’s finals will be played very early on 28th January 2021 so that more players from the national team can be seen in the tournament this year.
- The Big Bash League 2021-22 fixtures have been announced with 14 venues with home and away games.
