As we look toward the 2026 season, we want to acknowledge a change in our league lineup.
As many of you are aware, the Darwin Basketball Association recently ceased operations. Consequently, Basketball Northern Territory has informed us that they will not proceed with the license for 2026. This means the Darwin Salties will not be competing in the upcoming season.
We wish to extend our deepest gratitude to the Darwin community. As our two-time defending champions, the Salties set a high standard on and off the court. We thank the players, staff, volunteers, and supporters for their unwavering commitment to our sport.
The strength of the NWBL is reflected in our ability to adapt and grow. With the addition of a second NWBL team in Victoria and a high-calibre field of teams across the country, we are confident that the 2026 season will deliver the most competitive wheelchair basketball in recent years.
The full 2026 Season Schedule is coming your way soon. Stay tuned!
John Palmer
Executive General Manager, WB
