News Summary:

The National Basketball League announced on August 27, 2026, that the Bermuda Triangle group will perform a showcase during the FULFIL Supercup 2026 at Roland-Garros Stadium on Sunday, September 20. The musical trio gained prominence in 2025 with their viral track "Charger." Previously, on August 8, seven NBL clubs—Adelaide, Brisbane, Cairns, Melbourne United, New Zealand, Sydney, and Tasmania—reaffirmed their commitment to the league, stating that a new Owners’ Association involving only three clubs does not represent the majority view. Earlier in August, the NBL's parent company chief executive indicated Canberra moved closer to hosting an NBL team for the first time in over two decades, securing a new NBL role amid expansion team hopes. This followed news from June 13, when NBL and WNBL players embraced Optus as a new major partner, focusing on innovation and community connection. The partnership solidified on June 12, when Optus signed a three-year sponsorship deal to become a major partner for both the NBL and WNBL, aiming for broader audience reach and deeper supporter ties for the Australian basketball leagues.
