Sydney Sixers game tonight: TV Fixtures and live stream guide

Published On

January 13, 2025

You’d be hard pressed to find a more loyal and patriotic supporter base than that of the Sydney Sixers.

One of two teams representing the vibrant city of Sydney in the Big Bash League, the Sydney Sixers continue to call the iconic Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) home. Known for hosting some of the greatest moments in Australian cricket, the SCG provides a fitting backdrop for the Sixers’ campaign.

Following a strong 2023/24 season where the Sixers fell short in the final against Brisbane Heat, the team is looking to reclaim the championship they last won in 2020/21. For the 2024/25 season, the Sixers have bolstered their lineup with key international additions, including James Vince and Akeal Hosein, and have retained a strong core. Under the leadership of veteran players and new coaching guidance, the team is poised for another competitive season starting with their opening match against the Melbourne Renegades at the SCG.

To keep fans informed, this guide will provide details on the Sydney Sixers next match in the 2024/25 BBL schedule, TV fixtures, broadcast rights, and streaming options.

Of course, if you don’t want to watch it via traditional means on your TV with Channel Seven, you can watch BBL matches through a variety of streaming options online.

This includes access through platforms like Foxtel Now and Kayo Sports. Unfortunately, BBL isn’t available live on Channel 7’s streaming app called 7Plus.

If you prefer you can instead watch all the action from the Sydney Cricket Ground and beyond with Foxtel. This is best utilised with their Foxtel Now product, the streamlined online approach from the company.

To start you can take it out with a 10-day free trial, however, after which you will need to pay for both the Sports Pack ($29 per month) and the Essentials Pack ($25 per month), as the two products need to be bought in conjunction with one another.

As well as every Sixers match available live, and the option to watch replays at a later time, Foxtel Now has a wide range of BBL programming that includes pre and post-game shows, and weekly highlights.

Foxtel Now is more than an online platform, as it also includes the option to stream live sports using the Foxtel Go app when you’re away from home.

Seven’s TV coverage is currently headed by of Ricky Ponting, Damien Fleming and Bredon McCullum, alongside a strong production team to ensure your cricket viewing experience is both informative and exciting.

It should be noted that while the broadcaster does offer a good number of BBL matches on live TV, you won’t be able to stream any Big Bash games using Seven’s online digital platform 7Plus, because those rights have been awarded exclusively to Foxtel and Kayo Sports.
