Sports Entertainment Network (SEN) have announced they will be covering the NBL with dedicated match broadcasting confirmed for several teams ahead of the upcoming season.
As the league continues to grow in popularity, fans of the Perth Wildcats, Sydney Kings, Adelaide 36ers and the Tasmania JackJumpers will be able to enjoy in-depth match commentary for all home games across the network’s airwaves.
The play-by-play broadcasting will include live commentary from local hosts, with the Wildcats also enjoying a dedicated weekly show to analyse all activity from the club.
Details for the broadcast include:
• Wildcats Live and a weekly show on SEN WA (available on network’s app), SEN Kalgoorlie 1611am, Peel (DAB+), Spirit Bunbury 621am, Track 657am, Perth, Midwest (available on network’s app), Pilbara (available on network’s app), Great Southern (available on network’s app) and the Wildcats app.

Chief executive Craig Hutchison said: “SEN is the home of sport and as the NBL continues to grow, so does our coverage. Each broadcast will be unique in its own way so whether you are a fan of the Wildcats, Kings, 36ers or the JackJumpers, SEN will have you covered.”
NBL legend and host The Run Home with Andy & Gazey, Andrew Gaze, said: “Anticipation for the upcoming season is higher than ever, and it’s great that fans around the country will now be able to enjoy all the action live on SEN.”
The network’s coverage of the NBL will commence from Round 1 of the 2022/23 season, beginning on Saturday 1 October.
This comes after the network secured the 2022 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup broadcast rights, allowing the stations to broadcast every match to sports fans throughout Australia and New Zealand this week.
The broadcast will be part of a joint production between network and the Channel 2 Group who are the ICC’s exclusive global audio rights holder.
Chief sports caller, Gerard Whateley, will be leading the charge in commentary, with further broadcasting talent to be announced in the coming weeks.
All eyes will be on the match between New Zealand v Australia, which will be extensively covered across the network on Saturday 22 October.
Ajay Sethi, chairman and MD of Channel 2 Group Corporation said: “I am very delighted that this prestigious sporting event like ICC T20 World Cup 2022 is taking place in Australia. I am also delighted that SEN will be creating world class audio commentary to reach 100 plus countries and 1.2 billion around the world from this world feed.”
