We've crunched the numbers to find the most dominate Australian state in SuperCoach NBL.

Coach Tutorials

Victoria has the most SuperCoach NBL coaches. Per head of population, Tasmania leaves all behind.

Tasmania is the “Big Apple Isle” of SuperCoach NBL Classic in NBL27.

More than 16,000 coaches have registered for SuperCoach NBL this season, and Tasmanians have signed up at more than four times the rate of their rivals in New South Wales. That’s got to give Sydneysiders the Blues.

Tasmania has 921 registered coaches, or 159 for every 100,000 residents. NSW has 3,128, or 36 per 100,000.

The Tasmania JackJumpers – and buzz around the Tasmania Jewels – are driving SuperCoach fever, with 1,231 coaches naming the JackJumpers as their club, 310 more than the number registered in Tasmania.

It's not too late to sign-up, it takes just 60 seconds and we've already picked a team for you.

About these figures
SuperCoach NBL registrations, figures supplied 29 September 2026. Coaches per 100,000 residents uses the Australian Bureau of Statistics estimated resident population at 31 March 2026. “Other” is registrations outside the eight states and territories, so it has no population to measure against and is left out of the second chart.

Victoria has the most SuperCoach NBL coaches

Victoria has the most coaches by volume, with 5,139, or 31.15 per cent of all registrations. New South Wales (3,128) and Queensland (2,042) follow.

Another 1,603 coaches, or 9.72 per cent, are listed as "Other".

Melbourne United is the most supported club in SuperCoach NBL by a distance. 3,406 coaches named United as their team, 21.5 per cent of those who picked a club.
