Regular season
[edit]The Scorchers only played the first match of their season at their regular home ground of Optus Stadium, due to Western Australia's strict COVID-19 border controls. They played "home" fixtures at Metricon Stadium, Sydney Showgrounds Stadium, GMHBA Stadium, and Marvel Stadium.
The match on Boxing Day against the Melbourne Renegades had the uniquely late start time of 21:15, meaning the match went well past midnight.
