NBL Free Agency: The stars on the market for NBL26 listed

• NBL Free Agency starts on Friday, April 4
• Five-time NBL MVP Bryce Cotton recently announced he will not return to the Perth Wildcats after nine seasons
• NBA champion Matthew Dellavedova headlines the list of Aussie talent after being named MVP of the 2025 Championship Series

The season might be done but the craziness is about to start as NBL Free Agency tips-off on Friday as teams try to take the first steps towards a championship bid in NBL26.

Fans have already been hit with some big news since the offseason started with five-time MVP Bryce Cotton announcing he would not be returning to the Perth Wildcats after nine seasons while NBA champion and Melbourne United star Jack White is also exploring free agency.

White's teammate Matthew Dellavedova is one of the hottest free agents available after his best season in the NBL, where he claimed MVP of the Championship Series despite losing to the Illawarra Hawks in five games.

While the task of attracting elite talent is made harder for some clubs, such as the Brisbane Bullets and Cairns Taipans, who are yet to announce their coaches for next season.
