One Weekend. Two Leagues. Everything Basketball Culture.
The ultimate celebration of basketball heads back to Western Australia in January, with HoopsFest confirmed for Perth for a second straight year.
A fusion of sport, culture, music and entertainment, HoopsFest will once again take over the state – this time in January, 2026 from the 15th until the 18th. Significantly, all the action will take place during the regular season for both the Hungry Jack’s NBL and WNBL competitions, meaning blockbuster matchups across four unforgettable days.
Returning after a successful first event, HoopsFest Perth will once again feature fan activities like Sneakerland, along with a huge lineup of food, music, entertainment, and community engagement.
Mark your calendars. Perth is set to host the biggest basketball event in the southern hemisphere – and it’s only getting bigger!
