Harlem Globetrotters – The 100 Year Tour 2026

Trick shots, big laughs and one very busy family outing.

The Harlem Globetrotters bring their 100 Year Tour to Qudos Bank Arena on Saturday 4 July 2026, celebrating a century of basketball, showmanship and crowd moments that somehow still catch people off guard. Part game, part live entertainment, part full-family event, the Globetrotters have built their name on the kind of skill that makes people laugh first and ask how that just happened second. With the Washington Generals back in the mix, plus pre-game and post-game fan experiences, this is the sort of Sydney event that turns into a full day out rather than a quick stop on the calendar.

Stay at Crowne Plaza Sydney Airport for Harlem Globetrotters Sydney

The Harlem Globetrotters are easy to enjoy and surprisingly hard to do quickly. There is the trip in, the family logistics, the snacks, the souvenirs, the post-show energy, and the point where everyone is suddenly tired at once.

Crowne Plaza Sydney Airport helps with that part. The hotel’s 252 refurbished rooms give families and groups room to settle in before heading out, while Biggles Bar & Grill works well for an early meal and 24-hour in-room dining covers the late appetite that tends to appear after event nights. If you are turning the outing into a Sydney stay, Sirocco makes breakfast easy the next morning, and the gym and sauna are there for anyone ready to reset while the kids keep talking about the trick shots. It is a good fit for a family event where the planning around the game matters almost as much as the game itself.

Getting from the hotel to Qudos Bank Arena

• Train: Make your way to Mascot Station, travel toward Lidcombe, then change for the Olympic Park service. From Olympic Park Station, you are already in the precinct for Qudos Bank Arena, which keeps things simple on a busy Saturday.
• Taxi or rideshare: Cars can collect from the hotel entrance, and the drive to Qudos Bank Arena is usually around 20 to 30 minutes, depending on traffic. This can be useful if you are travelling with children or want to keep the trip there a little more contained.
• Driving: Parking is available around Sydney Olympic Park, and checking your options in advance is a good idea for a weekend family event. It can make the arrival smoother, especially if the day already has enough moving parts.

Keep the fun part easy

Some events ask you to sit still and watch. The Harlem Globetrotters have never really worked that way. Crowne Plaza Sydney Airport gives the day a smoother start and a calmer finish, which helps when the schedule is full and the energy stays high.
