The NBA is the global powerhouse of basketball and now it has a fantasy platform to match, with the launch of SuperCoach NBA.
In a major expansion of the SuperCoach universe, Australia’s most-loved fantasy game is hitting the hardwood, bringing all the stats, features and formats fans love into one of the world’s most exciting sports leagues.
Whether you’re a seasoned fantasy coach or new to the game, SuperCoach NBA gives you the tools and flexibility to play your way.
SuperCoach NBA has joined the all-new weekly Beat the Coach NBL game, where fantasy players go head-to-head with NBL superstar Montrezl Harrell, while also offering season-long leagues to battle it out with your mates.
Why SuperCoach NBA?
SuperCoach NBA offers both Classic and Draft formats in one game.
The Classic, or salary cap format, is unique to the NBA fantasy world and presents a competitive, team manager-style format to play.
That means you can build a squad within a salary cap or draft live against your mates.
No matter how you want to play, there’s a format for you.
Add to that live scoring, weekly price changes, flexible team structures plus the powerful SuperCoach experience and you’ve got a game that rewards strategy, knowledge and instinct.
And it’s free to play.
Two elite ways to showcase your coaching
Classic: Select your team under the salary cap, make trades each week and ride the highs and lows of form, injuries and match-ups across the NBA season.
Draft: Go head-to-head with mates in a live draft. No duplicate players, no excuses. Build combos, manage rotations and dominate your league.
There’s also the NBA Cup and tipping to test your knowledge of everything basketball.
