The 1986 NBL season was the eighth season of competition since its establishment in 1979. A total of 14 teams contested the league.
The NBL had 14 clubs spread across all Australian states and territories with the exception of the Northern Territory.
The home and away season took place over 21 rounds between 25 April 1986 and 28 September 1986.
The Adelaide 36ers had a near perfect regular season recording a 24–2 win–loss record which included an undefeated 13-0 home record at the Apollo Stadium, a feat not matched before or since in the NBL. Adelaide's only two losses of the year came away in Round 6 when they lost 89–87 to the West Sydney Westars in Sydney, and in Round 11 against the Coburg Giants in Melbourne when they went down 116–114. Both the Westars and Giants won the games on last second baskets.
