The 2022-23 Big Bash League is set to hit the road in a big way during the 2022-23 season, heading to Cairns and Albury among a list of 17 venues.
The tournament, which will run from December 13 until the final on February 4, will again feature a full home and away season, with regional games a highlight as Cairns, Albury and Coffs Harbour host games, alongside other venues away from the main eight home grounds at North Sydney, St Kilda, Launceston, the Gold Coast and Geelong.
The season will kick off with the Sydney Thunder taking on the Melbourne Stars on the opening night - December 13 - before the Adelaide Strikers host the Sydney Sixers on the following night in the South Australian capital in a rematch of last year's Challenger final.
Cairns doesn't have to wait long for its game the following night, while the Perth Scorchers playing their first game back at Optus Stadium in over a year will be a sight for sore eyes in a rematch of the finalists from last year against the Sixers.
The now traditional extravaganza of cricket on Boxing Day is back too, with the Sixers to play the Stars and Scorchers to take on the Strikers after the day of Test cricket, while Hobart's Christmas Eve clash and the Adelaide Strikers' New Years Eve clash are also back.
The finals commence on January 27, and the final will be played on February 4.
Test stars will also likely line up during the final weeks of competition following the completion of the New Years' Test against South Africa.
