Four of those matches will be played in Sydney, and two in Adelaide.

As forecast at the end of last year’s competition, the fixture has increased in size this year, with each side to play an additional two fixtures, meaning a total of 40 home-and-away matches for the year.
Launceston will host a BBL fixture for the first time this year, and there may be some new markets explored by the Adelaide Strikers, Sydney Thunder, and Melbourne Renegades.
