The players' draft will take place on September 1. However, being in the draft simply indicates a willingness to play in the Big Bash, with actual participation depending on team selections.

The Big Bash League for men will start on December 15 and conclude on January 27, while the women's tournament will begin earlier, on October 27, and end on December 15.
