State Basketball Centre NBL Games & Venue Guide

Phoenix basketball in Melbourne’s south-east

State Basketball Centre sits in Knox Regional Sports Park at Wantirna South. A Phoenix home fixture here has a different arrival plan from a John Cain Arena game. The venue also supports high-performance training and community basketball, so the match listing is the starting point for a spectator visit.

The show court is a distinct space

The operator describes a show-court arena alongside community courts and other sports facilities. A community court booking is not an NBL admission. Use the basketball event’s seating plan to choose your spectator position, especially when arranging accessible seating or attending with a group.

George Street and event parking

The address is 291 George Street. Read the current operator and Phoenix event instructions for parking and the route into the show court. General facility hours follow bookings and can differ from a night game’s public doors time; the ticket notice provides the relevant arrival information.
