While it’s hard to go past the thrills of the NBA, the local talent of Australian basketball is still a spectacle to behold, provided you get a chance to watch them! The NBL – National Basketball League – is the highest level of Australian basketball, and is a tournament that currently features 10 teams: nine Aussie teams and one from New Zealand.
But like many local sports, it can be a tough one to track down on the ol’ TV set, so where exactly can you catch your local basketball team in action? Find out where to watch the NBL in this Canstar Blue article.
When does the NBL season start?
The NBL season for 2024 and 2025 starts on September 19 with Melbourne United and Tasmania JackJumpers going head to head. The 10 teams will play through until February 2025 so there’s plenty of time to catch the action.
