# 2020–21 Big Bash League season

The 2020–21 Big Bash League season or BBL|10 was the tenth season of the Big Bash League, the professional men's Twenty20 domestic cricket competition in Australia. On 15 July 2020, Cricket Australia confirmed the fixtures for the tournament, with the first match taking place on 10 December 2020 and the final on 6 February 2021 The majority of the matches played at night.
Sydney Sixers were the defending champions. They successfully defended their title following a 27-run victory over Perth Scorchers in the final.

## New rules

Several changes for the season, including bonus points, substitutions and free hits for wides, were suggested by Cricket Australia. On 16 November three changes were announced to the league's playing conditions to add a more strategic element to the tournament.
The "Power Surge", a two-over period during which the fielding team is allowed only two players outside the inner fielding circle, was introduced. The batting side could call for this at any point after the 11th over of their innings. The fielding restrictions replicate those of the usual Powerplay at the beginning of an innings, which was shortened to four overs.
An "X-factor Player", named as either the 12th or 13th player on the team sheet, was also introduced. This player could enter a game at any point after the 10th over of the first innings as a replacement for any player who was yet to bat or had bowled no more than one over. The rule was first used in the eighth match, Adelaide Strikers replacing Danny Briggs with Matthew Short, and Hobart Hurricanes replacing Johan Botha with Mac Wright.
The points awarded for a win was increased to three, with a "Bash Boost" bonus point awarded halfway through the second innings. The team batting received the point if they were above the equivalent 10-over score of their opposition, and the bolding team receiving it if the batting had not reached the mark. If the score at the 10-over mark was equal, both teams received 0.5 point each. In case of a no result, both teams received two standard points and no Bash Boost was awarded. If a match was shortened before a ball was bowled, the midway point of the innings is recalculated and points are given as normal. If a match is impacted by rain and is shortened, the Bash Boost target was calculated via the Duckworth–Lewis–Stern method.
