The schedule for the upcoming Big Bash season has been confirmed, with the 10th edition of the T20 format to get underway on December 10.

Border restrictions and biosecurity protocols have forced a reshuffle to the format, with games to be played in a limited number of cities initially.

Hobart, Launceston and Canberra will host the first block of games, before Brisbane and the Gold Coast enter the fold on December 23.

Alistair Dobson, head of BBL at Cricket Australia, spoke about the difficulty in putting the fixture together.

"This is without doubt the most complex fixturing task ever undertaken by the League and we are excited with where it has landed," Dobson said.

"It has been a difficult year for so many people around Australia and we look forward to bringing the BBL to every state should border conditions allow us to.

"We are working through scenarios for the remaining 35 regular season matches and Finals series to be played in the New Year with our clubs, broadcasters, partners and governments. An announcement on these venues will be made in the coming weeks."

The 2020-21 BBL will feature the same number of games, 61, as BBL09, ensuring they fulfill their obligations to broadcasters.
