The Hungry Jack’s NBL has set a new record for the highest average attendance for a round in its history.

54,205 fans attended six games across Australia during round seven at an average of 9,034. This included the highest ever crowd for an NBL game, 17,514, for the Sydney Kings v Illawarra Hawks at Qudos Bank Arena.

Crowds at NBL games have already increased by 11 per cent on last season with 304,842 fans watching games across Australia and New Zealand.

All nine NBL teams will wear city themed uniforms across the next two rounds to celebrate their respective cities and cultures.

They will be unveiled on Friday night when the Brisbane Bullets wear black and white uniforms displaying the Brisbane skyline and the Adelaide 36ers wear a white ‘City of Churches’ uniform featuring a pink and blue mosaic design.
