What’s In The Guide
Watch BBL Cricket Live in Australia
Summer and cricket are two things that go hand in hand in Australia. We love the sound of the leather ball being struck by willow on ovals around the country. One of the highlights of every summer outside of the international scene in the BBL. Eight teams from across Australia go head to head from the start of December through until the end of January.
When all was said and done, the Perth Scorchers were able to pick up their fifth title last season, with heroic outings from Josh Inglis, Laurie Evans, and Mitchell Marsh. The team will look to defend the championship in 2023/24, but will have stern opposition from the likes of the Sydney Thunder, the Adelaide Strikers, and last years’ beaten finalists, the Brisbane Heat.
There are several ways to stream every BBL cricket live match during the season, whether you like watching in front of your home TV or with a mobile device on the move. Find out how to watch each match on free-to-air TV (Channel 7), Kayo Sports and Foxtel.

Best Grounds in BBL
BBL features some of the country’s most well-known grounds. Here are some of our favourites.
The MCG
The Melbourne Cricket Ground is probably one of the most famous in the game of cricket. The venue is the place where every cricketer in the world worth his or her salt dreams of playing. The 100,000 capacity stadium is a true sports treasure when full, and will have a big role in this year’s BBL competition.
The Gabba, Brisbane
The Gabba may be a fortress for the national team, but it is also the home of the Brisbane Heat. The groundsmen at the famous venue certainly know how to put down a decent wicket with lots of scoring potential.
Stadium Launceston
One of the more idyllic grounds in the Big Bash League is Stadium Launceston, which will host games featuring the Hobart Hurricanes. It’s one of those classic throwback stadiums that gives a nod to the game’s heritage.
