Brisbane Heat, the runners-up from the previous season, will take on the Melbourne Stars in the tournament's opening match, while the Perth Scorchers, the reigning champions and record five-time winners, will begin their tournament by taking on the Melbourne Renegades. The Adelaide Strikers, Brisbane Heat, Hobart Hurricanes, Melbourne Stars, Melbourne Renegades, Perth Scorchers, Sydney Thunder, and Sydney Sixers are the same teams competing in the BBL 2023?24 season as they were the previous year.

The Perth Scorchers are the most successful team in BBL history, having won the competition a record five times, while the Sydney Sixers have won it three times. The Sydney Thunder, Melbourne Renegades, Brisbane Heat, and Adelaide Strikers have all lifted the title once.

After discussions between Cricket Australia and the broadcasters, the BBL 13 structure has undergone some significant adjustments. With a more compact schedule for the 13th edition of this competition, just 44 games will be played throughout this season?a significant decrease from the 61 matches played in the previous edition. There will be ten group stage matches for all eight participating teams.

Each team will play four teams once, and the remaining three teams twice. Changes have been made in the playoffs, and this time around only 4 playoff matches will be played instead of the usual 5.

The top four teams will advance to the playoffs, and the top two teams on the points table will play against each other in the qualifier, and the winner will get a straight ticket to the finals. Concurrently, the third and fourth-ranked teams will compete in the knockout match, and the winner of that match will face the loser of the qualifier in the challenger in order to secure the other spot in the finals.

In India, where can I watch the Big Bash League 2023?24?
