Super League Basketball
Super League Basketball is a men's professional basketball league established in 2024. The competition replaced the former British Basketball League as the top-level men's basketball competition in Great Britain.
History
From 1987, the British Basketball League was the pre-eminent basketball competition in Great Britain. By May 2024, Basketball League Ltd, the operating company behind the BBL, was in severe financial difficulties. Due to this uncertainty, the British Basketball Federation terminated BLL's operating license to run the men's professional league, with immediate effect. On the same day a new organisation, Premier Basketball Limited, was formed by a consortium of existing basketball teams formerly of the BBL. The consortium, led by Sarah Backovic, director of Sheffield Sharks, was granted a three-year license by the BBF to operate the top-level men's basketball competition, in place of the former BBL.On 2 August 2024, "Super League Basketball" was announced as the name for the new competition.
