Hobart Hurricanes are the defending champions of the Big Bash League.

Australian cricket summer is set to sizzle as some of the world-class players are set to feature in the Big Bash League 2025-26 season (BBL 15). The 15th season will start on December 14, and the final will be played on January 25, 2026.

Hobart Hurricanes are the current title holders, while Perth Scorchers are the all-time leading title winners with five championships under their belt.

The Big Bash League will also serve as a preparation for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2026 to be played in India and Sri Lanka. Former Pakistan skipper Babar Azam is set to make his BBL debut after signing with the Sydney Sixers for the coming season.

Shaheen Afridi and Mohammad Rizwan, too, will be part of the Big Bash League festivities as they will play for Brisbane Heat and Melbourne Renegades. On that note, let’s take a look at the squads of all teams for the upcoming BBL 15.
