“The Hungry Jacks NBL27 schedule provides our club with a strong spread of timeslots that are favourable for our members and supporters, while also delivering valuable national exposure for our partners.

"With several blockbuster matchups at home, we’re excited about the season ahead and confident our run of 41 consecutive sell-outs at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre can continue.” - 36ers CEO Nic Barbato.

“We wanted to deliver something innovative and exciting as part of this year’s schedule, and opening our season at Pat Rafter Arena certainly achieves that.

“I’m sure an event as unique as this will attract interest from right across the region. It will be one of those unforgettable moments, where the city comes together to launch the season with this one-of-a-kind event.”

“I’m also thrilled that southside supporters will be able to enjoy two home games played south of the river this season.”- Bullets CEO Mal Watts.

“The number one priority every season is securing the New Year’s Eve game at the Cairns Convention Centre. We know what it does for the community and all the businesses throughout the CBD, and we’ll continue to make it the best live entertainment that Far North Queensland has to offer.

“The second priority was getting a schedule that suits our fanbase, and our Sunday afternoon time slot is now our most popular. We’ll get three Sunday games, three Friday games as well as four Saturday games in addition to the weekday options, so hopefully there’s something for everyone.  

“I know the Orange Army have been waiting for the schedule to arrive, and it’s just the beginning of some exciting developments that will also be revealed very soon." - Taipans CEO Mark Beecroft.

"The schedule is a real challenge; it’s a tough ask with a couple of big stints on the road, but nothing we can't handle.

"We know that our fans in the Illawarra will get behind the guys when we play at home, and we intend to give them plenty to cheer about." - Hawks GM Mat Campbell.

"Our new schedule is a massive win for our fans."

"With so many exciting games locked in at home, many of which fall in the Saturday evening primetime slot, we think we'll have John Cain Arena packed across the course of this season." - United CEO Nick Truelson.

"The Hungry Jack's NBL27 represents a significant moment for this club and for our fans. Having 14 home games at Spark Arena is something we haven't been able to offer our members for some time, and we don't take that lightly. We know what Breaker Nation is capable of when we're all together inside Spark Arena.

"The energy and noise our fans bring is a genuine advantage and we're calling on every one of them to bring that intensity from game one. September 20 is the start of something special.

"We look forward to Igniting The Spark with our fans and showing the rest of the NBL exactly what the BNZ Breakers are made of." - Breakers CEO Troy Georgiu.

“With a front-loaded home schedule, it will be important for us to take full advantage, build positive momentum and come out of that stretch with a strong win-loss record to help set up our season.” - Wildcats GM Danny Mills.

“It was clear via our fan surveys that Sunday was a favourite, so to have seven of them is a real win for our members and supporters.

“With ten home games at John Cain Arena plus six games in the Heartland across the State Basketball Centre and GRISS – there is a great mix of opportunities for our fans to connect with each other and the Phoenix.

“We’re also really excited that more basketball fans than ever will get to see the Phoenix via the new broadcast partnership with the Nine Network, it’s going to be a big NBL27." - Phoenix CEO Simon Derrick.

"We’re excited for the season ahead and the chance to go back to back.

"It is a great schedule for our fans and members, lots of family friendly times." - Hoops Capital CEO Mark Thompson.

“The schedule is action packed and we have a sensational team taking shape, NBL27 is going to be big.

“We can’t wait for our fans to see the return of our OG Will Magnay and fan favourite Majok Deng, plus that first glimpse of our hometown hero Taran Armstrong in action too.  

“We’re counting down the sleeps until that first tip-off in front of our home crowd on September 21, and another season to defend the island.” - JackJumpers General Manager for Basketball Operations Darren Smith.
