After a few days of action in Hobart and Canberra, the Big Bash League (BBL) 2020-21 will head to Launceston for a few days. The Aurora Stadium will host the eighth and ninth games of the BBL 2020-21 season. Due to travel constraints, Cricket Australia has forced to abandon the traditional home and away format for BBL 10. While some clubs will have the opportunity to play in front of their home supporters, several matches will take place in neutral grounds.
