Every player, team by team
SialTV lists all 119 players announced so far for BBL|16 — every squad member with a profile on this site, grouped by team. The season has not started yet, so there are no season numbers beside the names: instead, each name carries the player's role, where the club has confirmed one. Roles shown as “Role TBC” are listed as to be confirmed on the club's announced squad.
The squads are still being filled — clubs can name up to 18 players, and the eight teams have announced between 12 and 17 each so far. This page will be updated as clubs confirm more signings. The season runs from 12 December 2026 to 26 January 2027, opening with Melbourne Renegades against Perth Scorchers at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai — the first BBL match played outside Australia.
