The National Basketball League (NBL) is proud to announce Tangerine as the Official Telco Sponsor and a Major Partner of the Hungry Jack’s NBL26 Season.

The partnership brings together two brands driven by innovation, growth and community connection. The NBL is Australia’s fastest growing sporting league, with a passionate digital first fan base.

Inspired by the Tangerine and NBL partnership, the game is designed to drive deeper engagement with fans. Built for both mobile and desktop, it can be shared across social media and will feature throughout the season in twenty in-game activations on arena big screens.

Tangerine will also support the electrifying NBL Dunk of the Week this season, where fans can vote for their favourite dunk of the week to win awesome Tangerine prize packs.
