About Big Bash League 2026-27 — Adelaide

The Big Bash League comes to Adelaide through the 2026-27 season, with the Adelaide Strikers playing their home match days at the beautiful Adelaide Oval across December and January (check the fixture list for exact dates). Adelaide Oval is widely regarded as one of the most picturesque grounds in world cricket — the heritage scoreboard, the cathedral behind the stands and the famous hill combine with BBL fireworks and a big summer crowd to make match nights genuinely special.

Adelaide is an elegant, easy-going city, ringed by parklands and within reach of the Barossa and McLaren Vale wine regions. The Oval sits just across the Torrens from the centre, a short walk over the footbridge. Stay in the CBD or North Adelaide and book early for match days.

History

The Big Bash League arrived in 2011 and quickly became a fixture of the Australian summer, and few grounds show it off as beautifully as Adelaide Oval. Home to the Adelaide Strikers, who lifted the title in the 2017-18 season, the Oval is widely regarded as one of the loveliest arenas in world cricket: the heritage scoreboard dating from 1911, the spire of St Peter's Cathedral rising behind the stands and the famous grassed hill all combine with floodlights and fireworks to make a match night genuinely special.

The ground sits just across the River Torrens from the centre, a short stroll over the footbridge. Adelaide is an elegant, easy-going city ringed by parklands and within reach of the Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale, two of the country's finest wine regions, so a cricket trip pairs naturally with good food and wine. Stay in the CBD or North Adelaide and book early for match days.
