JackJumpers to host Christmas Day game 2023

The Tasmania JackJumpers will make history when they host a Christmas Day blockbuster at MyState Bank Arena, bringing the JackJumpers family together for the most wonderful time of the year.

"We're delighted to host such an occasion and bring our broader community together for a momentous celebration" JackJumpers Co-CEO Christine Finnegan said.

Fans can expect a basketball wonderland as MyState Bank Arena is transformed on December 25th bringing the magic of Christmas to the game day experience.

JackJumpers members who are unable to attend the Christmas day clash will also have the opportunity to give the gift of basketball this festive season. In addition to the member seat return program the JackJumpers will implement a 'Giving Tree’ where tickets unable to be used can be donated to those less fortunate in our community who otherwise would be unable to attend a game.

Hardly surprising when they are league-owned and up for potential sale.

In an added festive bonus for NBL fans, basketball will return on Christmas Eve and Boxing Day.

The Adelaide 36ers and Brisbane Bullets will clash at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on Christmas Eve at 2pm AEDT in a mouth-watering match-up.

On Boxing Day, Perth signing Keanu Pinder will make his return to Cairns when the Wildcats face the Taipans at the Cairns Convention Centre at 7:30pm AEDT.


What a lineup.

Yeah I thought the Jackjumpers decision was a bit odd, they already sell out their home games so maybe trying to fill bigger stadiums I thought would have been the plan but full stadiums look better on tv.

Should we look into the fact that United went from playing on Christmas to not playing over the Christmas Eve-Boxing Day games?

Maybe the players after playing Christmas Day last year didn't want to this year
