With the NBL25 season well underway, 69* players from the 2024 NBL1 season are featured in one of the ten teams across Australia and New Zealand so far. 

*Additional players from the 2024 NBL1 season have signed with NBL teams, increasing the total from the original 65 to now 69 from the time of publication 

Matching last season’s total, the NBL1 continues to be an elite pathway into the league and a platform for veterans to improve their skills during the winter. 

Melbourne United’s Kyle Bowen and Malith Machar came into the season with another chip on their shoulder, helping lead the Knox Raiders to their second straight National Title - the first rostered NBL players to win the title. 

Breaking it down by conference, 24 players from the NBL1 North are currently on NBL rosters, followed by the South’s 22, Central’s nine, West’s six and the NBL1 East’s five players.
