All four NBL1 West semi finals, played across Thursday 6 and Friday 7 August 2026. Each night carries a women’s game at 7:00 PM followed by a men’s game at 7:30 PM. In full: Warwick Senators v Joondalup Wolves and East Perth Eagles v Goldfields Giants in the women’s, Rockingham Flames v Perry Lakes Hawks and Geraldton Buccaneers v Willetton Tigers in the men’s. The team listed first hosts, and each of the four does so at its own home venue. Winners advance to a Preliminary Final on 8–9 August, not straight to the decider: NBL1 West runs a deeper finals bracket than the eastern conferences, with the Grand Finals at RAC Arena on 15 August. Tip-offs are given in AWST, the venue clock in Western Australia, alongside the AEST equivalent for east-coast readers, which is two hours later. Western Australia does not observe daylight saving at any time of year, so AWST needs no seasonal adjustment; the two-hour gap holds only until the eastern states move to AEDT on 4 October, after which it becomes three. Each game’s date sits with its round and grade under the matchup rather than in a column of its own, which keeps both clocks on screen together on a phone. Rows are in tip-off order and the headers are deliberately not sortable: the order a reader wants is the order the games are played.
