The Perth Wildcats will begin their championship defence with a Grand Final rematch in front of the Red Army.

The NBL has announced the first month of a rolling 2021 schedule, with the Wildcats set to play eight games in that timeframe, including four at RAC Arena.

It all begins on Friday 15 January, when the Wildcats take on the Sydney Kings at The Jungle.

The occasion will also see the club raise its 10^th NBL Championship banner to the rafters.

The Wildcats other three home games will be matchups against two of their fiercest rivals in Melbourne United and the NZ Breakers.

The team will also go on the road for games against Adelaide*, Cairns, The Hawks and Brisbane.

“We’re thrilled to finally have a return date set in stone and we can’t wait to finally put on a show in front of our fans,” said Perth Wildcats CEO Troy Georgiu.

“I’m hopeful that, by this time, the WA Government will safely be able to increase RAC Arena’s capacity to a level that will allow our loyal Red Army to attend these opening games.

“Our members and fans have been extremely patient and supportive, and we want them there as we raise our latest championship banner to begin our season.”

Given the current venue capacity restrictions currently being enforced by the WA Government, the Perth Wildcats have created a COVID-19 membership policy to provide its members with a range of options navigating the uncertainty of the 2020/21 season.

The club once again thanks its members for their ongoing patience, support and loyalty.
