The 2017 NBL season was the 36th season of the National Basketball League. For the second year in a row, the league fielded seven teams.
The regular season commenced on Thursday 16 March in Invercargill with the Southland Sharks hosting the Nelson Giants at Stadium Southland. The season contained 13 weeks of regular season games followed by a Final Four weekend in June at Tauranga's ASB BayPark Arena.[1][2][3] The seven teams played every team on three occasions to make up an 18-game round robin season.[4]
With an 18–0 record, the Wellington Saints made NBL history by becoming the first team to complete a perfect regular season.[5][6] They went on to post a perfect 20–0 campaign after sweeping the Final Four and collecting their 10th NBL championship in the process.[7]
