Have A Ball On Christmas Day, Court-esy Of 10!

Sydney Kings V Illawara Hawks. Live And Free On 10 And 10 Play

All your Christmas swishes have come true…

It won’t be a silent affair on Christmas Night when New South Wales rivals Sydney Kings and Illawarra Hawks go head-to-head in a blockbuster battle on Wednesday, 25 December at 8.30pm AEDT on 10 and 10 Play. (See below for specific tune in details for each market.)

Last year, the Hawks had the kings wrapped up in a stunning defeat, so this Christmas day, Sydney will be out for revenge and looking to spread some winning cheer at Qudos Bank Arena.

Both sides have showcased their attributes as championship contenders this season, with the Kings' stacked roster being led by legendary coach Brian Goorjian, and the league-leading Illawarra side charged by Justin Tatum, father of NBA superstar Jayson Tatum.

Sydney's star trio of Xavier Cooks, Jaylen Adams and Cam Oliver will go toe-to-toe with the Hawks' big three of Trey Kell III, Tyler Harvey and Sam Froling in what will be a must-watch battle.

So gather your loved ones and sleigh your holiday plans with a slam-dunk showdown you won’t want to miss!

On Sunday, 29 December you can also catch the Tasmanian JackJumpers up against the Brisbane Bullets live on 10 and 10 Play at 2.30pm AEDT.

As the NBL’s free-to-air partner, the 2024/2025 season has seen 10 return the League to a free-to-air main channel for the first time in a decade. Fans can cheer, groan, and armchair coach from 2:30pm each Sunday when the week’s biggest game is broadcast on 10 and 10 Play. Then head over to 10 Bold from 4.30pm to catch a second marquee game every Sunday.

(Following the holiday period, Sunday NBL double headers on 10 and 10 Bold will recommence on Sunday, 5 January.)
