Sixers head to Darwin for Pre-season NBL Blitz

The Adelaide 36ers are set to head north in September for the Hungry Jack’s NBL Blitz pre-season tournament.

The NBL has partnered with the Northern Territory Government and the Northern Territory Major Events Company to bring the 36ers, as well as the nine other teams, to Darwin, where 15 games will be played during the week-long preseason tournament.

“We are absolutely delighted to be going to Darwin for the NBL Blitz,” Hungry Jack’s NBL Commissioner Jeremy Loeliger said.

“Darwin is a city filled with passionate sporting fans who are eager to engage and connect with a professional sporting league and they will get to do that during the NBL Blitz.

“Basketball is booming in the Northern Territory with strong participation numbers and the impressive performances of the Darwin Salties in their inaugural NBL1 North season.

“The NBL Blitz is the only time of the year where all 10 NBL teams converge on one location to prepare for the season. All clubs and players are looking forward to getting out and about in the community and connecting with our fans in the Northern Territory.

More information about the 36ers schedule, opponents and broadcast details for the Blitz are set to arrive in the near future.
