The crack of the bat, the roar of the crowd and the unmistakable buzz of summer nights at NSR Hire Ballpark — baseball season is back. The Healthway Perth Heat are gearing up for another electric Australian Baseball League campaign, opening their home series against the Adelaide Giants on November 13th. This year fans can expect more than just great baseball.
Under a new ownership group, the Heat are doubling down on what makes baseball special: community, entertainment, and value. With fresh energy both on and off the field, the 2025/26 season promises to deliver an unforgettable experience for fans of all ages.
Nights That Hit Different
Each game night brings something new to the diamond. Thursday Family Nights will start a little earlier at 6pm — perfect for parents and kids to enjoy world-class baseball before bedtime. Expect activities, entertainment and a festival feel that celebrates the best of summer in Perth.
Friday Nights are all about celebration. The lights go up at 7pm, the music cranks, and the crowd comes alive for what the Heat are calling their weekly “Party Night” — a perfect way to kick off the weekend.
Then there’s Saturday, where the spotlight turns to the community with two games (4pm and 7pm), packed with activations, local club appearances and on-field experiences that bring fans closer to the action.
Themed nights will also take centre stage this year – from a “Back in Black” AC/DC tribute night (timed perfectly with the band’s Perth concert) to a sports crossover event and a charity game supporting local causes. Each one will be bigger, louder and more connected than ever before.
The Heat Promise: Great Value, Great Vibes
In a time when family entertainment can hit the wallet hard, the Healthway Perth Heat are committed to keeping baseball affordable and accessible. From ticket prices to food and drink deals, every night at NSR Hire Ballpark is designed to deliver genuine value — and a good time that won’t break the bank.
“Baseball has always been about community,” says the club’s Managing Director, Cole Sherertz. “We want families, students and diehard fans alike to feel that a night with the Healthway Perth Heat isn’t just great entertainment — it’s one of the best-value nights out in Perth.”
Hometown Heroes and International Talent
On the field, the roster blends local legends and international firepower. Icons like Tim Kennelly and Alex Hall continue to anchor the lineup — both within striking distance of all-time league records — while a fresh wave of overseas talent injects speed, power, and personality into the dugout.
With imports from the U.S., Asia, and Latin America joining a strong WA core, the Heat are shaping up as one of the most balanced and exciting teams in the league. Fans can expect the trademark grit, professionalism and showmanship that have made Perth synonymous with championship-calibre baseball.
A Summer Worth Getting Fired Up About
The Healthway Perth Heat aren’t just playing for wins — they’re building something bigger. A family-friendly, high-energy, value-packed baseball experience that celebrates community, culture and connection. Whether you’re there for the music, the food, the fireworks or the fastballs, there’s something for everyone this season at NSR Hire Ballpark.
The heat is on — and Perth’s ready to play ball.
