The 2018–19 Big Bash League season or BBL|08 was the eighth season of the KFC Big Bash League, the professional men's Twenty20 domestic cricket competition in Australia. The tournament started on 19 December 2018.[3][4] Adelaide Strikers were the defending champions. The competition was extended to a full home and away season for the first time, with each team to play each other twice at both a home venue and away venue. This consists of 56 regular season matches, two semi-final fixtures and the final. For this season of the tournament, the toss was replaced by a bat flip, with "roofs and flats" used instead of heads or tails.[5][6]
The season saw Cameron Bancroft's return to professional cricket, following his involvement in the ball-tampering scandal in March 2018.[7]
The title was won by Melbourne Renegades, who defeated Melbourne Stars at the Marvel Stadium.
