Storm will face back-to-back home fixtures against London Elite and Thames Valley Cavaliers before they travel to Essex Rebels as the group stages of the KitKing Trophy are confirmed.
The three opponents make up an identical group stage to last year, where Storm emerged as group winners with a 100% record.
London Elite, Storm’s first challenge of the season, were relegated from Division One last year and will compete in the second tier of NBL action this time around.
Storm came out 11 point victors at the StormDome when the sides met in the competition a year ago, and went on to complete a league double over the London side.
Thames Valley, visitors to Hemel a week after Elite, have traditionally made for tough opposition with the sides involved in some ferocious battles over the years.
At this stage last campaign, Storm came away from a tricky visit to Uxbridge with a 15 point win to confirm their quarter-final qualification and it was again the first of a season sweep, with Storm victorious in all three clashes.
A trip to the Rebels may prove the toughest matchup, with league honours shared between the pair last year. Storm did, however, win the earliest battle of the season in the KitKing Trophy as they kicked off their campaign with an 11 point win.
The trophy clashes will be the Storm fans’ first chance to catch a glimpse of the new roster in person, as there will be no friendly contested with Team USA Select as seen in previous years.
