CLUB STATEMENT

Since the announcement of a new professional league in British Basketball, the club consortia have been working diligently to ensure the launch of a new season by the end of August 2024.

To that end we expect to make several key announcements that will satisfy the fanbase up and down the country that a return to topflight basketball is in hand.

It is expected that the new league name will be announced in the coming days and that will be followed by some exciting news on how the league will operate and commercial partnerships as soon as the details are completed.

Further to this, communication will come regarding the direction of the league, the 2024/2025 season,  the number of franchises and our new media deal.

As clubs begin to announce new signings, further developments include the commitment to move forward with a strategic growth plan which has been agreed by all parties. The overall desire is to grow the league and the sport commercially and will result in increased franchise areas over a medium-term period.

This new season will not only see the return to elite basketball but a return to European competition for many of our teams with plans to expand that participation in the season to follow.

The club consortia appreciate the patience of their fans during this difficult process, but we look forward to rewarding all with an exciting season ahead.
