The 2026–27 Sydney Sixers season will be the sixteenth in the club's history. Coached by Matthew Mott and captained by TBA, the club will compete in the BBL 16.
Former captain Moises Henriques, who led the club for several seasons, retired from Australian domestic cricket ahead of the season. The Sixers are expected to appoint a new captain before the start of the campaign.
Background The Sydney Sixers entered the 2026–27 season following their elimination in the previous Big Bash League season and underwent significant changes ahead of the new campaign. In July 2026, the club appointed former Australian coach Matthew Mott as head coach, replacing Greg Shipperd after the conclusion of the previous season. Mott returned to the Sixers after previously serving as an assistant coach during the club's inaugural title-winning campaign.
The club also marked the end of an era with long-serving captain Moises Henriques announcing his retirement from Australian domestic cricket after the 2025–26 season. Henriques finished his career as the most-capped player in both Sydney Sixers and Australian domestic cricket history. At the time of the season's commencement, the Sixers had not announced a new captain.
