Basketball fans across New South Wales are in for a treat as NBL1 East and Basketball NSW proudly announce that the 2025 Mitsubishi Motors NBL1 East Women’s and Men’s Grand Finals will once again be hosted at the Penrith Valley Regional Sports Centre.
Set for Saturday, August 16, this highly anticipated double-header promises to deliver another unforgettable afternoon of elite basketball action. The Women’s Grand Final will tip off at 2:00pm, followed by the Men’s Grand Final at 5:30pm.
In 2025, we’ve seen remarkable growth across the league, both on and off the court. With a surge of elite professional talent from the NBL, WNBL and international players, growing interest from athletes in other NBL1 conferences, and the continued presence of high-quality stars and local talent from past seasons, the NBL1 East has just experienced its biggest season yet.
Basketball NSW’s Head of Competitions and Leagues, Liz Mills, reflected on the strength of this year’s competition and looked ahead to the excitement of finals.
“The competition has just hit another level this year, from the product on the court to the growing number of fans and media in the stands,” said Mills.
“I don’t see this Finals series being any different from what we’ve seen all season: high-level competition, amazing plays, and unforgettable moments. As we’ve said all year, the East is on the way up!”
The two Championship-winning teams will go on to represent NBL1 East at the National Finals with the host state and venue to be announced.
Tickets will be available soon.
