List of National Basketball League (Australia) venues

The following list includes all current and former arenas used by current and defunct teams playing in the National Basketball League (NBL) during the 2024–25 NBL season. The New Zealand Breakers, South East Melbourne Phoenix and Tasmania JackJumpers all use multiple home venues. Other information included in this list are arena locations, seating capacities, years opened and in use.

The Qudos Bank Arena, home to the Sydney Kings and the largest indoor arena in Australia, has the highest capacity of any current NBL arena at 18,200. Opening in 2019, Nissan Arena, home to the Brisbane Bullets is the newest venue in use. The oldest venue in use is the Silverdome, having opened in 1984.

Two of the venues used in the NBL, RAC Arena and John Cain Arena, the main home venue for the two Melbourne teams, are both retractable roof venues.
