Big Bash League
Updated: 12/16/2025, 8:49:47 PM Wikipedia source
The Big Bash League (BBL), also known as the KFC Big Bash League for sponsorship reasons, is a professional Twenty20 cricket league in Australia. Established in 2011 by Cricket Australia, the Big Bash League replaced the previous competition, the KFC Twenty20 Big Bash, and features eight city-based franchises instead of the six state teams which had participated previously. The competition has been sponsored by fast food chicken outlet KFC since its inception. It was in 2016/17 one of the two T20 cricket leagues, alongside the Indian Premier League, to feature amongst the top ten domestic sport leagues in average attendance. The winner of BBL 14 (2024/2025) was the Hobart Hurricanes, who beat the Sydney Thunder by 7 wickets in the final. BBL matches are played in Australia during the summer, from December to February. The Perth Scorchers are the most successful team in the league's short history, having won the title five times including consecutively for two years twice. The Sydney Sixers have won the title three times, including consecutively for two years. The remaining teams that have won the title are the Brisbane Heat, with two titles, and the Sydney Thunder, Adelaide Strikers, Melbourne Renegades, and Hobart Hurricanes with one title each. Out of the eight teams in the tournament, only the Melbourne Stars have not won the title.
