The Breakers will play games against two NBA teams in the United States in six weeks' time.
The games will be against the Portland Trailblazers on 11 October and the Utah Jazz on 17 October.
Matching up against the Trailblazers is particularly special because they signed former Breaker Rayan Rupert as the 43rd overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft two months ago.
The games come after the start of the Australian NBL season on 28 September and the Breakers will sit out round three to play their American opposition.
Breakers owner Matt Walsh said they were excited to continue the tradition of participating in the NBL versus NBA games.
"It's an amazing opportunity for our players to play on basketball's biggest stage against the best teams in the world.
"The Breakers have become the benchmark globally for developing future NBA talent and we can't wait to play against former Breaker Next Star Rayan Rupert."
"Rupert is the fifth NBL Next Star - the NBL's player development program for top prospects - to be drafted directly from the NBL into the NBA, following LaMelo Ball (Charlotte Hornets), R.J. Hampton (most recently with the Detroit Pistons) and the Oklahoma City Thunder's Josh Giddey and Ousmane Dieng.
The Breakers are not the only NBL team to play against NBA opposition next month.
The Cairns Taipans have games confirmed, against the Toronto Raptors and the Washington Wizards.
