The Wednesday night men's and women's basketball doubleheader on April 3 coincides with schoool holidays.
Ballarat and Bendigo will meet twice in the 22 home and away season, with the return game on Saturday, June 1.
In a big start to the season, the Miners will then face another major rival in Geelong United, again at Selkirk Stadium, on Sunday, April 7.
The Miners season will also feature a road trip to Tasmania, where the men will meet North West Tasmania and Hobart, and women play Launceston and Hobart.
The pinnacle of the NBL1 South season, the conference championship game, is scheduled for Saturday, August 10, at the redeveloped State Basketball Centre.
Ballarat goes into the new season with new-look coaching set-ups, with Luke Brennan head coach of the men's team and Kennedy Kereama in charge of the women's NBL1 program.
