The ABL released the schedule for the 2015-16 season on Monday, with each of the six teams playing seven, four-game home series over 14 rounds.
The Cavalry opens its season at home to the Brisbane Bandits at the Narrabundah Ballpark on October 23-25.
Bye weeks have been eliminated from the expanded schedule with the demise of the Asia Series.

"We thought it was going to be coming, it was just a matter of ticking all the boxes and getting it across the line," Laudenbach said.
"The extra series means four more games and extra opportunities to come out and watch the team, and more opportunities for us to sell tickets and to sell merchandise.
"It makes our membership a little more valuable. Up until now we've kept them at the same price and fans are getting an extra four games for free.
"It's got to be a good thing for the league to be extending the season."
The Cavalry has been the success story of the ABL since the competition began in 2010-11 and has the largest average attendance.
Having fought its way in for a licence through a huge groundswell of public support, the Cavalry shook off a couple of tough early seasons to take out the championship in 2012-13.
The Cavalry then became the first Australian team to be crowned the champions of Asia in 2013.
Several former players have progressed to the US Major League, including Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier and New York Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius.
The ABL is yet to announce the date and location of the 2015 All-Star game.
