The Sal's NBL 2020 fixture has officially dropped with seven teams set to descend on Auckland from 23 June for six weeks of elite basketball action.
The 2020 competition will feature 56 games, all broadcast on Sky Sport. Some games will also feature on free to air through Sky Sport Next, Prime, Stuff and the Tribe App.
Proudly supported by Auckland Tourism Events and Economic Development (ATEED), the League will feature two games per night, five nights a week. Each team will play up to three games per week, with plenty of opportunity for fans to see their players on court.
The finals will feature all seven teams from the start of week six as they work their way through to the last two teams standing for the Grand Final on Saturday 1 August.
Sal's NBL General Manager Justin Nelson says the presence of this league is not only going to have fantastic reach for all fans throughout New Zealand, but also globally.
"Now that we have released the official fixture, it all becomes a lot more real. Basketball is back and we can't wait to see the Airs, Huskies, Bulls, Rams, Giants, Jets and Nuggets in action. And many of these players are going to be seen overseas too, as we are in discussions about how this will be made available to markets abroad. Auckland will provide the perfect backdrop for this event too – it will be a great showcase of sport for New Zealand.”
