Similar to the NBA, the playoffs begin with a play-in tournament to determine which teams join the top 2 seeds in the semifinals. The semifinals are a best-of-3 series, while the NBL Grand Final is a best-of-5 series.

The 2027 NBL season (also called NBL27) will begin in September 2026. These are the 10 teams that will compete:

  1. Sydney Kings

  2. Adelaide 36ers

  3. Perth Wildcats

  4. Melbourne United

  5. Tasmania JackJumpers

  6. SE Melbourne Phoenix

  7. Brisbane Bullets

  8. New Zealand Breakers

  9. Illawarra Hawks

  10. Cairns Taipans

The most popular bet types for NBL betting

Here are some of the most popular types of bets you’ll find at Stake during the NBL season:

  • Moneyline - A moneyline bet is a bet on the outright winner of a particular game.

  • Point Spread - Also known as handicap betting, is based on the winning margin of a game. For example, if the Perth Wildcats are 4.5-point favourites against Melbourne United. If the Wildcats don’t win by at least 5 points, Melbourne wins the bet, even if it loses the game.

  • Over/Under Total - This bet is based on the total points scored in a game, with the bettor choosing over or under the given value.

  • Player Props - These are bets relating to the performance of a specific player, typically regarding the number of points, rebounds, assists, or steals they accumulate in a game.

  • Futures - These are long-term outright bets, usually on the NBL championship winner or on a team's regular-season wins.

Parlay betting and same-game multis in NBL

Stake allows users to combine multiple bets into a larger bet called a parlay. A parlay bet can involve multiple NBL games or a same-game multis, in which all bets come from the same NBL game. This means using a combination of point spread bets, over/under bets, and player props from the same game.

NBL teams and what to watch in NBL27

As the reigning champs, the Sydney Kings are the team to watch heading into NBL27. Of course, as the Grand Final losers, the Adelaide 36ers will be eager to redeem themselves.
