2021/22 NBL Schedule Update

In line with the league’s policies regarding border closures and openings, the first six rounds of NBL22 have been re-shuffled to maximise the opportunities for fans to attend games.

The Red Army will be treated to a December FULL of Wildcats basketball at RAC Arena!

The Perth Wildcats, who were originally scheduled to face Brisbane Bullets on December 3, will now be taking on Adelaide 36ers at home. Perth will then back it up against the Cairns Taipans on December 5, and will take on the Brisbane Bullets on December 12 and 17.

The Wildcats and the Red Army will get their first look at the new Tasmania JackJumpers team when they join us in The Jungle on December 19, before the Wildcats start their road trip. 

Fans and the integrity of the schedule were the priority during the rescheduling according to Hungry Jack’s NBL Commissioner, Jeremy Loeliger.

“We will always prioritise having as many fans in home venues as possible as per our policies and processes,” he said.

“Like every sporting organisation around the country, we were acutely aware our schedule would likely change as Australia and New Zealand started to open up and consider vaccination rates and health advice.

“We have the ability to swap and change when necessary but will always maintain the integrity of the schedule and we will always put fans first.

“Getting teams into states and fans into venues safely remains are absolute priority. We will maintain a flexible approach to the schedule to ensure any potential further changes are made with these two objectives at the forefront.

“We will ensure each team still plays 14 home games and we will endeavour to give fans as much notice as possible when further changes are made after Round 6.”

The Perth Wildcats will now play five home games in the first three weeks of the season before hitting the road for a block of away games while the Western Australian border remains closed to certain states.

“This allows Wildcats’ fans to cheer on their team at RAC Arena early in the season and maintains a fair schedule for the club,” Loeliger added.

Get ready for a Sunday Hoops triple-header on December 5 with Perth Wildcats battling Cairns Taipans, Adelaide 36ers take on Illawarra Hawks and the Sydney Kings face Melbourne United!

All games will be broadcast live on ESPN and the ESPN App, and the 1pm and 3pm Sunday games will also be simulcast live on 10 Peach.
