Pat Rafter Arena NBL Games & Venue Guide

A tennis arena became a basketball court

Stadiums Queensland reported that Pat Rafter Arena hosted the Queensland Tennis Centre’s first basketball game for the 2026 season opener. Hoops and a wooden floor were installed for the occasion. That conversion is what makes this match different from an ordinary Bullets home game.

An event layout, not a tennis ticket

Basketball required its own playing surface and spectator arrangement. A tennis seating diagram or tournament ticket does not establish the basketball configuration or admission. Refer to the dated basketball event when revisiting the result or checking the background to the match.

Checking for another basketball date

A successful one-off conversion does not confirm a permanent NBL schedule at the tennis centre. Future games need an announcement with their own tickets and visitor guidance. If there is no upcoming fixture here, the Bullets team page is the useful next step for games at other Brisbane venues.
