Hotels for Big Bash League 2026-27 — Perth

The Big Bash League is Australia's premier Twenty20 cricket competition, and Perth's matches at Optus Stadium draw passionate crowds. Staying close to the venue means easier transport to games and less time wasted on the commute.

The Big Bash League, Australia's flagship Twenty20 competition, began in 2011 and has become one of the game's great summer occasions, and no side has mastered it like the Perth Scorchers — the most successful club in the league's history, with a record of dominance built on packed, roaring home nights.

Playing in orange, the Scorchers fill Optus Stadium, the superb arena that opened on the banks of the Swan River in 2018 and holds around sixty thousand, giving the club some of the biggest crowds and best atmospheres in Australian domestic sport. The stadium links to the city by train and by the graceful Matagarup Bridge, an easy walk across the water.

Perth is a relaxed, sun-soaked place, with Kings Park, the Cottesloe and Scarborough beaches and historic Fremantle all within reach, and long light evenings ideal for cricket. Stay in the CBD or near the river and book early for match nights.
