Team overview
Brisbane Heat Women at a glance
Brisbane Heat Women are one of the eight founding Women's Big Bash League clubs and are administered by Queensland Cricket. They share the Heat identity with the men's BBL side, but their players, fixtures, statistics and honours are recorded separately.
The Heat won consecutive championships in WBBL|04 and WBBL|05, then finished runners-up in WBBL|09 and WBBL|10. WBBL|11 was their first winless season: nine losses and one rain no-result left them eighth with one point.
WBBL|12 opens against Sydney Sixers at Allan Border Field on 30 October 2026. Mark Sorell remains head coach. Jess Jonassen will play but stepped down as captain, and no replacement captain had been announced by 9 August 2026.
