The BBL10 fixture has finally been released, but venues have only been announced for the first month of the competition.

Tasmania, Queensland, Canberra and Adelaide will host matches in December, but with the status of border closures and quarantine requirements still up in the air, locations for January and February matches have not been confirmed.

The season will begin in Tasmania on December 10, with the Hobart Hurricanes taking on the defending champions, the Sydney Sixers, at Blundstone Arena.

Adelaide will host the traditional New Year’s Eve match, and the finals will be held from January 29 to February 6.

Ticketing and crowd restriction numbers for the opening month of the competition have not yet been confirmed.

Cricket Australia had originally released a Big Bash schedule earlier in the year, but complications due to the pandemic and a public spat with broadcasters has seen the tournament rescheduled.

“This is without doubt the most complex fixturing task ever undertaken by the league and we are excited with where it has landed. It has been a difficult year for so many people around Australia and we look forward to bringing the BBL to every state should border conditions allow us to,” Cricket Australia’s head of BBL, Alistair Dobson, said.

“We’re also pleased to provide certainty to our clubs, players, broadcasters, commercial partners and governments today with confirmation of match-ups, dates and start times for the entire BBL|10 campaign, and venues for matches through to the end of 2020.

“We are working through scenarios for the remaining 35 regular season matches and finals series to be played in the New Year with our clubs, broadcasters, partners and governments. An announcement on these venues will be made in the coming weeks.”
