Fixtures

Format of the group stage is a double round-robin tournament, where each team will play each other team twice. Games are grouped into weekends, where three-four teams may play in one city over that weekend. This means that teams will host matches in their opponent's home city, or in a neutral city. Because there are 56 games played over 7 weekends, it is common to have multiple matches in a day (up to five), and matches being played simultaneously at different grounds.

There are 14 double header fixtures with the men's Big Bash League, and the semi-finals and final will also be played as a double header.
