Fixtures

Format of the group stage is a double round-robin tournament, where each team will play each other team twice. Games are grouped into weekends, where four teams may play in one city over that weekend. This means that teams will host matches in their opponent's home city, or in a neutral city. Because there are 56 games played over 7 weekends, it is common to have multiple matches in a day (up to five), and matches being played simultaneously at different grounds.

There are 8 double header fixtures with the men's Big Bash League, and the semi-finals and final will also be played as a double header.

Audience

A total of ten matches were televised on free-to-air in the first season of Women's Big Bash League (WBBL) on One HD and Channel Ten. The average TV ratings for these matches are given below.

Initially only eight matches (seven regular season double-headers and the grand final) were scheduled to be televised on One HD. Due to higher than expected viewership, Channel Ten decided to move the Melbourne Derby on 2 January,[16] the Sydney Smash on 16 January and the grand final to the primary channel, and also added coverage of the two semi finals on One.[17][18]
