Pay TV group Fox Sports could launch a dedicated cricket channel if it gains the broadcasting rights to some or all Big Bash League matches. Fox Sports is believed to be considering a bid for the domestic Twenty20 series, potentially in partnership with the Nine Network. Nine has previously expressed interest in the rights to the BBL, which has attracted strong ratings for the Ten Network. Fox Sports is also seeking rights to A-League and Socceroos matches.

Each match in Australia’s domestic Twenty20 tournament has attracted an average crowd of about 23,200 in 2014-15, which is about 20 per cent higher than the 2013-14 season. The Ten Network’s ratings for the Big Bash League coverage has been consistent with the previous year, with each match averaging about 925,000 viewers. Cricket Australia’s Mike McKenna expects the eight teams in the Big Bash League to make a profit in 2014-15
