You’d be hard pressed to find a more loyal and patriotic supporter base than that of the Sydney Sixers.
One of two teams representing the vibrant city of Sydney in the Big Bash League, the Sydney Sixers continue to call the iconic Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) home. Known for hosting some of the greatest moments in Australian cricket, the SCG provides a fitting backdrop for the Sixers’ campaign.
Following a strong 2023/24 season where the Sixers fell short in the final against Brisbane Heat, the team is looking to reclaim the championship they last won in 2020/21. For the 2024/25 season, the Sixers have bolstered their lineup with key international additions, including James Vince and Akeal Hosein, and have retained a strong core. Under the leadership of veteran players and new coaching guidance, the team is poised for another competitive season starting with their opening match against the Melbourne Renegades at the SCG.
To keep fans informed, this guide will provide details on the Sydney Sixers next match in the 2024/25 BBL schedule, TV fixtures, broadcast rights, and streaming options.
