Ooh, accidentally caught them testing or releasing too early perhaps.

I have no doubt they will announce it soon

Hearing that NBLTV may also get Chinese CBA games with English commentary.

Australian basketball fans will have the chance to watch their favourite players in Europe with NBL TV securing live streaming rights of the Euroleague Basketball competitions.

NBL TV will live stream each week up to four selected games of the European top competitions. Full game replays, highlights of all games and condensed game replays will also be available on demand.

Following Australians and former NBL players in Europe will be made easy with EuroLeaguexNBL which will include individual highlights of Australian Boomer Jock Landale (Zalgiris Kaunas) and the following players:

Turkish Airlines EuroLeague:


Scottie Wilbekin (Maccabi FOX Tel Aviv - former Cairns Taipan)
Jacob Wiley (Panathaniakos OPAP Athens – former Adelaide 36er)
Brock Motum (Valencia Basket - Australian)

7DAYS EuroCup:

Armani Moore (Asseco Arka Gdynia – former New Zealand Breaker)
Tai Webster (Galatasaray Doga Sigorta Istanbul – former New Zealand Breaker)
Greg Whittington (Galatasaray Doga Sigorta Istanbul – former Sydney King)
Cam Bairstow (Rytas Vilnius – former Brisbane Bullet and Australian Boomer)
Devin Williams (Tofas Bursa – former Melbourne United)

NBL Commissioner Jeremy Loeliger said: "Euroleague Basketball competitions coming to NBL TV gives Australian basketball fans another platform to watch their favourite players and teams like FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, FC Bayern Munich, Maccabi FOX Tel Aviv and Olympiacos Piraeus.

“Australian basketball is enjoying a golden era and our players in Europe have been major factors in growing the Australian basketball footprint at an international level.

“We look forward to providing fans the opportunity to watch the best Euroleague Basketball has to offer, along with enjoying all the great Hungry Jack's NBL content already available on NBL TV."

Euroleague Basketball Marketing and Communication Senior Director, Alex Ferrer Kristjansson said: "We are very happy to widen our reach in Australia by offering a new platform to all our Aussie fans to follow Euroleague Basketball games.

“Australian players have had a continuous presence in our competitions, showing the good level of Australian basketball and the enormous work developed by NBL. This is a clear example of how two basketball organizations can improve their reach by collaborating together, creating synergies that positively impact the fan.”

Along with Euroleague Basketball, NBL TV subscribers also receive every game of the Hungry Jack’s NBL Season live, game replays, over 300 hours of classic NBL games and more.

You can subscribe to NBL TV for just $5 per month at nbl.com.au/tv.

There is one live EuroLeague game per round on Fox Sports as well, after Eurosport dropped the rights.

EuroLeague are a separate organisation to FIBA Europe but I would hope in future NBL TV can obtain rights to EuroBasket. It is a major sports tournament which has never been aired on Australian TV, despite the proliferation of sports channels we have today.
