Cricket Australia is all set to commence its biggest domestic Men’s T20 Cricket League on 7th December 2023 to 24th January 2024. CA launched the BBL to promote a new brand of cricket in 2011. Due to its commencement in 2011, BBL is the second oldest cricket league behind the Indian Premier League (IPL). This competition is held throughout the summer. Since its debut, KFC (a fast-food chicken restaurant) has sponsored the competition, therefore, this tournament is often referred to as KFC BBL as well.
The competition will involve 44 matches between eight teams, containing 40 league games and four knockout games. The BBL 2023-24 will be played in a Double round-robin format. It means the top two clubs at the end of the 40-match league stage will have double opportunities to advance to the final.

The BBL will see another change in this season. With a drop of 4 matches per side, teams of BBL (8 teams) will only play 10 home and away games. In addition to fewer games per side, there will be fewer doubleheaders this season than the previous one. Furthermore, there will be no cricket on Christmas Day. The league wishes to emphasize crucial contests to be played during the peak viewing windows.
