NBL on its way to the Territory

The world-class National Basketball League (NBL) 2022 Blitz tournament is on its way to the Territory with tickets on sale from Friday.

Taking place in Darwin from 16-23 September, the first game in the fixture will be between the South East Melbourne and Adelaide 36ers, with 15 games happening over eight days.

The NBL Blitz is the only time of year when all 10 NBL teams converge in one location to prepare for the season ahead, which begins on 1 October. All the teams will take part in community engagement initiatives while in the Territory.

NBL Commissioner Jeremy Loeliger said the teams were thrilled to be heading to Darwin. “The Territory is filled with passionate sporting fans who are eager to engage and connect with a professional sporting league, and they will be able to do that during the NBL Blitz,” he said.

“It is always a great carnival of basketball that offers the public the opportunity to get up close to the action and see every one of our 10 teams in full flight ahead of the rest of the country.”

Fans will have the chance to watch the biggest stars in Australian basketball on the court, including Bullets’ superstar Aron Baynes and a revamped Adelaide with Antonius Cleveland and Robert Franks out to flex their muscles. The Blitz is also a showcase of the sport’s future stars.
