- Fire up! No wait for WNBL26 Grand Final rematch
Australian Opals star Jade Melbourne can't escape Canberra just yet – the Bendigo Spirit play its first game of the NBL27 season against her former club Canberra in Canberra in one of the marquee matchups of Opening Round.
The season tips off on October 15, when Steph Reid leads expansion club the Tasmania Jewels into their historic first WNBL game against the Geelong Venom. Two-time WNBL champion Bec Cole also returns to the league in Geelong colours after time away from the competition.
Opening Round also marks Sami Whitcomb's return to the Perth Lynx as she teams with Anneli Maley in a championship rematch against reigning premiers Townsville Fire. Chinese star Rainy Wang will debut for the Southside Melbourne Flyers against Sydney, while sisters Nyadiew and Manuela Puoch are set to feature for Canberra, with Nyadiew returning after a breakout WNBA campaign.
Reigning Championship Series MVP Courtney Woods leads a largely unchanged Townsville Fire squad featuring Alicia Froling, Alex Fowler, Miela Sowah, Abbey Ellis and Chloe Forster, while Steph Talbot returns from the WNBA to spearhead Adelaide Lightning.
WNBL27 will feature 109 games broadcast live and free, new fan-friendly scheduling, a five-team finals series including an elimination final, and themed rounds including Indigenous Round, Mental Health Round, Pride Round and HoopsFest in Perth.
