Fresh off the back of a grand final victory, the perennial powerhouse will host the 36ers at the Mandurah Aquatic and Recreation Centre (MARC) as the first of a three-game pre-season series in WA.
The event will potentially give the Peel region's basketball fans the chance to catch stars like Perth's Bryce Cotton, Damian Martin and Terico White, along with Adelaide's Brendan Teys and Eric Griffin.
The pre-season match could also provide Wildcats fans with their first glimpse at newly-recruited big man Majok Majok.
Perth capped off a memorable year with an NBL-record ninth championship last season, and will be eager to make it back-to-back titles after retaining the services of star imports Cotton and White.
The clash at MARC will be held on Wednesday, September 4, tipping off at 6.30pm.
Tickets to the game will be available on Monday, August 12 and can be purchased online.
