Schedule Announced: Women’s Big Bash League 2025 Scheduled from November 9 to December 13

Cricket Australia has announced the schedule for the much-awaited Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) 2025 featuring 43 matches over 35 days. The tournament is set to begin on Sunday, November 9, and will conclude with the final on Saturday, December 13.

The 11th edition of the WBBL will start later than in previous years due to the Women’s World Cup taking place in the subcontinent in September – October. Interestingly, the opening day of the tournament will be a triple header. The tournament will begin with a highly anticipated grand final rematch between the Brisbane Heat and Melbourne Renegades at Allan Border Field on November 9.

The second match will also be played at Allan Border Field between the Sydney Thunders and the Hobart Hurricanes. The third match of the day will be played between the Perth Scorchers and the Sydney Sixers at the iconic WACA Ground, Perth.

One notable omission from this year’s schedule is the ‘Stadium Series,’ which featured in the previous two seasons and saw standalone matches played at major venues such as the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Sydney Cricket Ground, and the Gabba.

Challenges around accessing top-tier venues, particularly the Gabba, which is set to host the second men’s Ashes Test, played a role in the decision to leave out the ‘Stadium Series’ from the WBBL-11 schedule.

There was also a desire from host clubs such as the Melbourne Stars and Sydney Sixers to focus on their core home grounds at the CitiPower Centre and North Sydney Oval. The league has not ruled out the possibility of using larger venues for the finals.

Cricket Australia’s General Manager of Big Bash Leagues, Alistair Dobson, said, “Each season when we look at the schedule, we are always looking for the balance of the right venues and the right opportunity to promote those games. We’ve enjoyed playing in bigger stadiums for the past couple of seasons and are really looking forward to being back at Adelaide Oval this year.”

Dobson further added, “The other games, largely due to scheduling reasons and needing to optimise those games in those big stadiums, we haven’t found the right slot for them this year … That’s not to say we won’t be back there in the future, because playing in the world’s best cricket league in the world’s best stadiums is still a part of our thinking going forward, but not for this season.”

The Melbourne Stars will host the Adelaide Strikers on November 10 at the CitiPower Centre, as all eight clubs kick off their seasons across the opening two days of the tournament.

The team that finishes at the top of the table at the end of the regular season will host the final on Saturday, December 13. The teams finishing third and fourth will face off in the Knockout on December 9, which will be hosted by the third-ranked side.

Dobson concluded saying, “With the WBBL season ending as the BBL starts, the Big Bash Leagues are cemented as the heartbeat of summer, with cricket to feature almost every night from November 9 through until Sunday, January 25.”
