NBL Teams and Arenas: Every Club, City and Home Court

There are ten clubs in the NBL: nine in Australia and one in New Zealand. Here is where each one plays, when it joined the league and how many championships it has won. Each club name links to its page with this season's results, fixtures, stats and history.

All ten NBL teams

Championships are counted to the end of the 2024–25 season, and include titles won under an earlier club name. Clubs sometimes play individual games at other venues, so check each game page for the confirmed location.

Two teams in Melbourne

Melbourne is the only city with two NBL clubs. Melbourne United continues the Melbourne Tigers, who joined in 1984, and plays at John Cain Arena. South East Melbourne Phoenix arrived in 2019–20 to represent the city's south-eastern suburbs. Games between the two are among the most anticipated on the fixture.

The club across the Tasman

The New Zealand Breakers joined in 2003–04 and are based in Auckland. They are the only NBL club outside Australia, and won four championships between 2011 and 2015.

The newest clubs

The two most recent additions are South East Melbourne Phoenix (2019–20) and the Tasmania JackJumpers (2021–22). Tasmania reached the Grand Final in their first season and won the title in 2023–24.

Former NBL clubs

Many clubs have come and gone since 1979, through mergers, relocations and financial trouble. Former NBL teams include the St Kilda Saints, the Canberra Cannons, the West Adelaide Bearcats, the North Melbourne Giants, the South East Melbourne Magic, the Hobart Devils, the Newcastle Falcons, the Townsville Crocodiles, the Gold Coast Blaze, the South Dragons and the Singapore Slingers. Several of them won championships; see the full list of NBL champions.
