“Can’t Wait to Be Back”: Tigers Return Home for Opening Round

The Melbourne Tigers are back at MSAC this Sunday for NBL1 Opening Round taking on the Mount Gambier Pioneers, and there’s plenty to be excited about.

After last season’s run to the Grand Final for the NBL1 Men, the connection between the team and the Tigers community has never been stronger. NBL1 star Jack Purchase summed it up perfectly:

“The love we felt from the Tigers community during our run was amazing and I can’t wait to play in front of our Tigers family again at MSAC.”

The 2025 season saw the Tigers NBL1 Men putting together a memorable finals campaign, fighting their way through to the Grand Final with some incredible performances.

Join us at MSAC this Sunday as the Tigers tip off their 2026 campaign!
