Wildcats Bound for Bendigo NBL27 Blitz

The Perth Wildcats will face the Cairns Taipans and Melbourne United at the CODE Sports NBL Blitz, with the pre-season tournament set to take over Bendigo from 2-6 September.

All 10 NBL teams will feature across five days at Red Energy Arena, as preparations ramp up for the Hungry Jack’s NBL27 Season.

Perth will open its Blitz campaign against Cairns on Wednesday 2 September, before returning for Game 2 on Friday 4 September to face Melbourne United.

The Bendigo tournament will form an important part of the Wildcats’ pre-season preparations, with Head Coach John Rillie’s squad given the opportunity to test itself against NBL opposition ahead of the new campaign.

The Wildcats’ appearance at the Blitz will come immediately ahead of the club’s previously announced pre-season tour of Japan from 6-12 September, continuing a significant build-up to NBL27 both domestically and internationally.

For the Red Army wanting an early look at the Wildcats in action before the regular season begins, tickets for the CODE Sports NBL Blitz are on sale now.
