As part of their pre-season, the Bullets played five pre-season games. Their first game were held in Brisbane against the Creighton Bluejays, with the next two games being held in Melbourne against the South East Melbourne Phoenix and Melbourne United.[1] After that they played two games in Cairns against the Cairns Taipans, and as a club in the NBL they also took part in the NBL Blitz where they played games against the Adelaide 36ers and the NBL1 All-Stars. They rounded off their pre-season on the Sunshine Coast against the Perth Wildcats, and they opted out of the NBLxNBA games.[citation needed]
