Regular season[edit]

The regular season began on Friday 18 March and ended on Saturday 30 July after 20 rounds of competition. The newly-renovated Warwick Stadium hosted big crowds for the Stirling Senators in 2016, while the Perth Redbacks moved home to the Belmont Oasis Leisure Centre after a trial year at Curtin University in 2015. Additionally, due to renovations to the Mandurah Aquatic and Recreation Centre, the Mandurah Magic hosted all of their games in 2016 at the Rockingham Flames' home venue of Mike Barnett Sports Complex.[1]
