The inaugural Coles Express NBL1 National Champions will be crowned in September at the NBL1 National Finals.
The historic event will take place at the State Basketball Centre in Melbourne, as the Australian basketball community comes together September 9-11 for a weekend which promises to be action-packed and filled with drama.
The conference winners from the women’s and men’s divisions in NBL1 North, NBL1 East, NBL1 South, NBL1 West and NBL1 Central, plus the Wildcard Series winners will battle it out for the title of NBL1 National Champions.
All eight Australian States and Territories have a chance to have a club represented in the NBL1 National Final, as NBL1 solidifies its status as Australia’s game.
Each team will play two preliminary games in which they will generate ranking points across Friday and Saturday, before Championship Day on Sunday, where the top two ranked women’s and men’s teams will battle it out.
NBL1 General Manager, Dean Anglin, is excited to host the event and showcase some of Australia’s best basketball in one venue.
“It’s taken a long time to get to this point, taking a concept from paper and making it a reality, but we are extremely proud of turning this ambitious idea into an event that basketball fans across the country can attend and watch,” Anglin said.
“It’s a truly unique event and we cannot wait to see which clubs earn their spot in the NBL1 National Final to claim the coveted title of NBL1 National Champion.
“I want to thank the state associations, our clubs and our partners for their hard work and cooperation in bringing the National Final to life, and we look forward to it becoming a staple of the Australian basketball calendar in the years to come.”
