The Hoops Capital side will open its 29-game season at the inaugural HoopsFest in Perth – which is on track to be the biggest weekend in Australian basketball history – against the Adelaide 36ers at 2.30 pm AEST on Sunday 22 September. 

The Kings will remain in Perth for a second game at RAC arena against the Perth Wildcats on Friday, September 27. 

This will be followed by the purple and gold’s first home fixture of NBL25, against arch-rivals the Illawarra Hawks, on Sunday, 29 September – tipping off at 2.30 pm AEST (which is the NBL’s marquee time slot each week, with this game being broadcast live on Channel 10).

This showdown with the Hawks is the first of eight Sunday afternoon matches for Brian Goorjian’s side in Sydney.

Those Sunday showdowns will also include match-ups with Jackjumpers, Breakers, Taipans, and the Bullets.

Mixed in with those eight Sunday clashes are two Thursday fixtures (January 2 against SEM Phoenix and January 9 against Melbourne United), two Friday games (November 8 against South East Melbourne Phoenix and January 24 against Adelaide 36ers), one Monday (December 30 against the Adelaide 36ers) and one Wednesday – the Christmas night clash with Illawarra.

Of these, four fixtures will be double-headers alongside the Sydney Flames – Sunday 3 November, Monday 30 December, Thursday 2 January, and the Pink Hoops Double Header on Sunday 19 January. 

“A new season is dawning and a new era of Kings basketball is tipping off this summer,” said Hoops Capital executive director Matthew Denholm.

Another feature of the five-time NBL champion’s schedule is the summer holiday-heavy schedule, with seven games played at Qudos Bank Arena (including three double-headers with the Flames) over five weeks.

“We cannot wait to see our Members, Sponsors, and Fans out to Qudos Bank Arena for the season ahead”, Denholm said.

Tickets for all of these games are expected to go on sale in July.
