The Wantira South facility will feature a trio of games against the Adelaide 36ers (January 17), Sydney Kings (January 25) and Perth Wildcats (January 27).
The club has returned to the State Basketball Centre every year since their inaugural season in 2019, furthering their commitment to growing the sport in the South East Melbourne region.
Last season, the Phoenix went 2-1 during their SBC fixtures, Alan Williams the standout averaging 25.3 points and 12.6 rebounds in the Heartland.
(Phoenix will play three games at their Heartland Home in Wantirna South.)
A capacity crowd of more than 4,000 spectators packed out the stadium in August for a pre-season game against California Baptist University, with tickets expected to quickly sell out during the season proper.
South East Melbourne Phoenix CEO Tommy Greer said returning to the Heartland was always a high-priority for the club, and it’s something the team look forward to each season.
“The fans always flock to the games held at the SBC and these fixtures have really become a huge day for those in the South East,” Greer said.
“Every game played there has been a sellout, and it’s a really different experience to games held elsewhere, fans are so close to the action, and the players feel that too.
“We anticipate these games long into the future and are excited to get back into the Heartland.”

Members will be able to redeem their tickets from December 4, before general public tickets go on sale the following day.
