Melbourne-based franchise cricket team
The Melbourne Stars are an Australian men's professional Twenty20 (T20) franchise cricket team that competed in Australia's domestic Twenty20 competition, the Big Bash League (BBL). Based in Melbourne, Victoria, the Stars wore a green uniform and played their home matches at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). They are the only team not to have won a Big Bash League title despite making three appearances in the finals. On 2 June 2026, it was reported that the brands of the Stars and the Melbourne Renegades would be merged into a new franchise, utilising the Stars' existing BBL license. Nick Cummins, the CEO of Cricket Victoria (CV), has described the new team as "just a merger of brands and staff" and "not a merger of the teams". Two weeks later, it was confirmed that both the Stars and the Renegades would compete in the upcoming 2026–27 season under their existing names.
