Super League Basketball (SLB) is delighted to confirm the unification of Great Britain’s elite men’s and women’s leagues under one banner.
Following a unanimous vote by shareholders of the Women’s British Basketball League, both the men’s and women’s elite competitions will now adopt SLB branding and work together to unlock the sport’s considerable potential across the country.
The Men’s League’s nine-member clubs will be joined by 11 counterparts in the Women’s League, ensuring Super League Basketball is accessible for all, with the inaugural season set to get underway on September 27 2024.
By uniting under a single brand, the leagues will leverage each other’s strengths to create a more cohesive and powerful identity, increasing visibility and commercial opportunities across both men’s and women’s basketball in the UK.
Speaking following confirmation of the partnership, SLB Interim Chair Vaughn Millette said:
“Uniting under the Super League Basketball banner marks a pivotal moment for us. By bringing together the Men’s and Women’s Leagues, we are not just enhancing the visibility and reach of the sport, but also fostering a stronger, more unified community that will drive the growth and success of basketball across the UK.”
Chair of the Women’s League, Jim Saker, added:
“This unification under Super League Basketball represents an exciting step forward for the sport in the UK. We are excited to create a shared platform that amplifies the strengths of both leagues. This collaboration will not only elevate the game but also inspire a new generation of fans and players across the country.” Fixture information for the Men’s League has already been announced, with tickets now available to purchase via the club websites. Fixture information for the Women’s League will be announced in the coming days.
