National Basketball League partners with Movember for men’s health

The National Basketball League (NBL) has named the men’s health charity Movember as its inaugural Impact Partner. The partnership aims to use the reach of professional basketball across Australia and New Zealand to promote mental health awareness, suicide prevention, and physical wellness among men and young boys.

The collaboration officially launched on November 2, 2026, during a game between Melbourne United and the New Zealand Breakers. The initiative includes the ‘PLAY IT LOUD, SAY IT LOUDER’ activation, designed to encourage spectators and athletes to stay connected and open about their health.
