BBF Status Update: Super League Basketball Season 25/26
19 Sept 2025
The British Basketball Federation (BBF) notes the start of the Super League Basketball (SLB) season this weekend.
Despite repeated offers - including within the last 24 hours - it has not been possible to agree recognition terms that would enable SLB to operate within the sport’s established regulatory structures.
As the National Governing Body for elite basketball in Britain, the BBF has a duty to uphold the integrity of the sport, protect participants, and ensure compliance with the rules and regulations set by FIBA and other relevant authorities. The BBF will continue to pursue a robust and constructive resolution to this regrettable situation in the interests of the wider sport.
In the immediate term, the Federation urges SLB to prioritise the protection and welfare of its players, coaches, officials, and other participants, particularly in light of the risks associated with operating outside recognised and regulated competition frameworks.
