The Brisbane Heat BBL records hold a curious mix: two titles, in 2012-13 and 2023-24, alongside more defeats than wins overall.
From Dec 2011 to Jan 2026 the Heat played 163 Big Bash League games, winning 73, losing 87, tying once and seeing 2 washed out. Counting only games with a result, that is a 45.6 per cent win rate. Below you will find each season’s results, how the Heat fare against every rival, the leading batters and bowlers, and the club’s biggest and smallest totals.
Heat Seasons, Titles and Rivals
The first title came in only the second season, 2012-13, from a modest 4 wins in 8 games. The second was far more convincing: in 2023-24 the Heat won 9 of 11, their best season by some distance. They had also reached the final the year before, finishing as runners-up in 2022-23.
2021-22 was the low, just 3 wins against 11 losses. The latest season, 2025-26, finished dead even at 5 and 5.
Head to head, the Heat do well against Sydney Thunder, with 15 wins and 8 losses, and Melbourne Stars, 13 wins to 8. See the Melbourne Stars vs Brisbane Heat page for that one. The hard matchups are Sydney Sixers, who have won 16 of 25 against them, and Perth Scorchers, also 16 wins from 25. The Sixers vs Heat record has the details.
