Series Overview

BBL 2025-26 delivered another Perth Scorchers chapter in the competition's record books. The final at Perth Stadium on 25 January 2026 pitted the Scorchers against the Sydney Sixers in a rematch of previous deciders. The Sixers were dismissed for 132 — a total that, on a bouncy Perth wicket, looked competitive. It wasn't. Perth's experienced batting lineup chased the target down in 17.3 overs, losing only 4 wickets. The victory was Perth Scorchers' sixth BBL title — setting a new record as the most successful franchise in BBL history. Captain Ashton Turner, one of the competition's most composed leaders, claimed his third BBL title and was named Player of the Tournament for his consistent contributions throughout the season. The win also maintained Perth's enviable home record at Perth Stadium, one of world cricket's most intimidating venues for visiting teams. For the Sydney Sixers, it was a near-miss in a season where their young squad showed genuine promise.
