John Cain Arena NBL Games & Venue Guide

Two clubs at one Melbourne arena

John Cain Arena hosts games involving Melbourne United and South East Melbourne Phoenix. A Throwdown brings the two Melbourne clubs together, but other fixtures have different opponents. Use the team filter above to follow either club while keeping the venue fixed.

A basketball seating map

Melbourne Park also hosts tennis, netball, concerts and other events. Those layouts can move floor seating and change sightlines. Open the exact basketball event’s authorised ticket link and seating plan. Prepare the ticket format requested by the seller rather than relying on a screenshot from an old booking.

Approaching along Olympic Boulevard

The arena’s Plan Your Visit guide covers transport, parking and accessible arrival. Event crowds elsewhere in the sporting precinct can affect the final part of your trip. Check the basketball entrance and allow time for screening; the game’s tip-off is not the time to arrive at the car park.
