Up till 2016, the Big Bash League’s broadcasting rights were acquired by Sky Sports. However, after that date, BT Sports took over and now it’s the home for one of the biggest cricket competitions in the world.

BT Sport has up to 6.6 million viewers, which shows you how popular the channel is in the United Kingdom. Of course, the channel requires a cable subscription. However, anyone in the UK is required to have a subscription to get TV in any way.

The 2019/20 Big Bash League – Inside the Field

The league takes place between December 17th, 2019 and February 8th, 2020. It will be the ninth season and is predicted to have a record viewership than any other previous season.

The format has changed this year. We know that eight teams used to play each other with a total of 32 matches (Including playoffs). However, in the 2018/19 season, it all changed as every team will play each other twice (home and away).

Now, there’s something very interesting that goes on in the final. The match will be played on the home ground of the team with the highest points table. That gives them the advantage of home crowd support.
