Five of the seven International Basketball Series matches will also be LIVE, FREE and in HD on SBS VICELAND, with all games LIVE streamed via SBS On Demand.

Australia tip-off their FIBA Basketball World Cup preparations with a series of two-game ties in August, starting in Perth against Group H rivals Canada.

Boomers coach Andrej Lemanis has selected a squad containing several NBA and NBL stars, including reigning MVP Andrew Bogut (Sydney Kings), Chris Goulding (Melbourne United), Cameron Gliddon (Brisbane Bullets), Nick Kay (Perth Wildcats) and assist-leader Nathan Sobey (Brisbane Bullets).

Lemanis' Australia-based contingent will feature heavily against a Canada team, somewhat weakened by the withdrawal of established NBA talent, before travelling to Melbourne to face defending champions USA.
