About the NBL schedule

The NBL schedule on this page lists every game of the 2026-27 regular season, month by month and night by night, with the arena, the tip-off time in Sydney time and the score once a game is over. Each month has its own page, so the October or January slate can be opened directly.

The season runs from September 19, 2026, to February 14, 2027: 165 games, 33 for each of the ten clubs, with breaks for the FIBA international windows. Games in New Zealand and Perth are still shown in Sydney time, with AEST or AEDT next to the clock.

How to use the NBL schedule

  • Pick a month from the strip; the month of the next game opens by default and is marked.
  • Each game shows the arena and its Sydney tip-off time before it is played, and the final score afterwards.
  • The progress box above counts games played and left, and links to the NBL ladder.

NBL schedule FAQ

How many games does each NBL team play?

Thirty-three in the 2026-27 regular season, for a total of 165 games across the ten clubs. The ladder after those 33 games decides who goes to the semi-finals, who plays the Play-In and whose season is over.

When does the 2026-27 NBL regular season end?

On February 14, 2027. The Play-In follows in February, and the semi-finals and the Championship Series are played in March.

Why are times shown in AEDT for most of the season?

Because daylight saving in New South Wales and Victoria runs from the first Sunday in October to the first Sunday in April, which covers almost the whole NBL season. The opening weeks in September are on AEST.
