Your guide to doubles: SuperCoach NBL Classic

13 Oct 2026

Which clubs double when in NBL27, and why it decides your SuperCoach captain.

By

basketball.com.au

SuperCoach NBL double rounds are rounds in which a club plays twice, and we have every double by round and club.

Your players score in both games and SuperCoach NBL adds the two scores together, so a player who scores 40 in each game banks 80. If your captain doubles, their combined score is doubled. Every NBL27 club plays exactly 12 double rounds, so no club gets more than another.

What matters is when they fall. Illawarra doubles seven times in the first 10 rounds, Sydney not until Round 5, no club doubles in Round 17 and all 10 double in Round 18.

Every club plays exactly 12 double-game rounds across the season, so the difference is when, not how many. Rounds 1 to 4 have been played, so those rounds are greyed out and Remaining counts only the double-game rounds still to come. Sydney has the most left, with 12; Adelaide, Cairns and Illawarra have the fewest, with 9. Perth is the biggest swing, with 2 doubles in the first third and 6 in the last.

Season	120		165

Every club plays every round, so a round with no doubles is still five games. Round 17 is the only round all season in which no club doubles; Round 18 is the inverse, with all 10 doubling. Games is the number of matches in the round, 165 across the season.
