Melbourne United Round 6 Update

The league has today announced a number of changes to the first six rounds of the NBL22 season in line with the league's policies regarding border closures and openings. 

These changes will only impact one Melbourne United game, with the Round 6 away game against the Tasmania JackJumpers replaced by a trip to New South Wales to face the Illawarra Hawks at the WIN Entertainment Centre on Sunday, January 9th at 1pm.

In good news for United fans, none of Melbourne’s trio of December home games have been affected by the latest schedule update.

Tickets for these games will be on sale later this month or Memberships can be purchased here.

The Hungry Jack’s NBL Commissioner Jeremy Loeliger said the schedule reshuffle has been made to prioritise fans.

“We will always prioritise having as many fans in home venues as possible,” he said.

“Like every sporting organisation around the country, we were acutely aware our schedule would likely change as Australia and New Zealand started to open up and adapt to vaccination rates and health advice.

“We have the ability to swap and change when necessary but will always maintain the integrity of the schedule.

“Getting teams into states and fans into venues safely remains are absolute priority. We will maintain a flexible approach to the schedule to ensure any potential further changes are made with these two objectives at the forefront.

“We will ensure each team still plays 14 home games and we will endeavour to give fans as much notice as possible when further changes are made after Round 6.”

Melbourne United fans are encourage to keep an eye on the club’s official website and social media accounts for all season updates and NBL22 news.
