Seven obviously played a big part in the scheduling of BBL next season. Most night matches will start earlier at 7.15pm AEDT, after Seven News in Sydney and Melbourne. How it affects the Queensland schedule remains to be seen. Also when the new season of My Kitchen Rules premieres on the last week of January 2019, BBL matches on Tuesday and Wednesday will be on Fox Cricket only.
There are at least two big changes: Seven will only show one Saturday match during the season (Strikers v Scorchers at Alice Springs on February 9). The grand final on Sunday February 17 will be an afternoon clash starting at 2.45pm AEDT leading into Seven’s primetime schedule in Sydney and Melbourne.
There are also a few late night matches which are Scorchers home games starting between 9.15pm and 9.45pm AEDT. At least WA fans can get their share of night matches.
