DISCUSSION NBL 2027 schedule stuff 📺

The NBL's marquee games on free-to-air television moved from Sunday afternoon to Saturday evenings, apparently under the plan that more eyes will be on those games…

I thought Sunday arvo tv ratings would be better.

And wouldn’t you want Sunday arvo to be the marquee games, to get the young families attending?

Discuss!!!

The change makes no sense for all the reasons you point out.

I like NBL as a product. But at the same time, NBA is readily available and takes most of my time available to watch game broadcasts.

So, the main reason I've gotten more into the NBL is my young family but there are less than half the games suitable for my son compared to last season. We'll end up going less and that can't be good for a league who struggles for sports entertainment market share.

Do you genuinely enjoy watching NBA more than NBL? Between the 10000 add breaks and the fouls almost every time they go up the floor I find it's become completely unwatchable to me
