Blockbuster schedule announcement: Grand Final rematch and next Throwdown confirmed

The NBL have today announced a series of schedule changes between Rounds 10-13.

Melbourne United's game at 3pm this Sunday at John Cain Arena against the Tasmania Jack Jumpers remains unchanged.

LIMITED TICKETS TO SUNDAY FEB 6 VS JACK JUMPERS STILL AVAILABLE HERE

The Melbourne United home game at 8pm on Saturday 12 February will now see the defending champs host the Perth Wildcats for a huge top-of-the-table Grand Final rematch.

This will be the first time the two sides have matched up since Melbourne swept the Wildcats to win the NBL21 Championship.

This game will be broadcast on ESPN via Kayo and Foxtel. All tickets already purchased to this game will remain valid and will be updated with the new opposition.

Following this, the NBL’s hottest rivalry will reignite, as United face the South East Melbourne Phoenix in Round 12 for Throwdown XIV delivered by DoorDash on Thursday 17 February at 7.30pm.

The Phoenix just edged out Melbourne, who were missing Chris Goulding and Jack White in their first meeting of the season, so expect United to come out firing in the rematch.

Melbourne will then close Round 12 with a fourth straight home game at John Cain Arena, when they welcome the New Zealand Breakers on Sunday 20 February at 3pm.

Fans who can’t make it to the game can tune into this game for free via 10 Peach and Kayo Freebies.

Melbourne will then head back on the road in Round 13, travelling to Cairns for a clash with the Taipans on Sunday 27 February at 3pm.

This will be the first time United have faced Cairns in NBL22, and will be aired on 10 Peach and Kayo freebies.

Tickets for United’s home games in Round 12 will go on sale in the coming days via Ticketek.com.au.
