A huge thank you to @SprLeagueBballM for honouring their commitment to provide these Operating Rules.
Super League Basketball has published the Operating Rules for the Men's League. Click below to read more on our website. #StandTall #BritishBasketball
@Fury13JB Yes, we have the eighth-oldest roster in the entire competition.
When your Head Coach says that "wholesale changes" are needed, it's about as low as it gets. We agree. It's time for change. What changes do you want to see in British basketball?
🗣️ “I am a believer in British basketball, as are many people, but we definitely need wholesale improvements across every level of basketball in the U.K.” - GB Head Coach Marc Steutel after today’s heavy loss to Germany at EuroBasket 🇬🇧🏀
@britsdontjump Where do you think both groups' heads are at?
What are your thoughts on this?
🏀EXCLUSIVE 🏀SLB looking to launch new franchise in Liverpool 🏀American investor on board, team could start as early as next month, trying to finalise venue 🏀BBF chair writes to Home Office asking for pause on issuing of player visas Latest⬇️ yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/other-sp…
Fans are no further along from knowing anything about GBBL's plans than we were in January. £15.5m is a lot of money on paper, but that's currently all it is: promises on a piece of paper. No clubs, no fans, no communication from them directly.
Exclusive: British Basketball Federation says it was “entirely appropriate” to give GBBL two extra months to prove it had the guaranteed capital required to run the league next year. GBBL met the conditions last week. Full story: cityam.com/exclusive-brit…
The soap opera continues.
The British Basketball Federation (BBF) has filed its Defence to the claim brought against it by Super League Basketball (SLB) and has brought its own Counterclaim against SLB.
Some really welcome transparency here from SLB.
✍️ To our clubs, players, fans and the wider community… we want to take a moment to speak directly to you. Read more below. #BritishBasketball
For the full, transparent results from the Fan Pulse, head to our website: thebbfa.substack.com/p/bbfa-fan-pul…

@willsweeney15 We hear you and we'll get it added for the next round.
So what did the BBFA Fan Pulse tell us? Over 120 respondents took time to have their say on the state of British basketball. Let's take a dive into the Fan Profle stats. 📊
Although it adds to the fallout, many believe the SLB starting legal proceedings was justified. What’s your view on the SLB’s legal action against the BBF? It's justified - 74.2% It's damaging - 4% Mixed feelings - 17.7% Not sure - 0.8% I don't know enough about it - 3.2%
The BBF blocking Manchester Basketball from playing in EuroCup went down horribly with fans of all teams. Should the BBF have endorsed Manchester's BCL application? Yes - 87% No - 4.9% I don't know enough about it - 4.1% Not sure - 4.1%
Here are the headlines from the BBFA Fan Pulse: June 2025.
There's a great geographical spread. Meaning we're made up of fans all corners of the UK. NW - 10.5% NE - 21% Midlands - 16.9% SE - 29% SW - 12.1% Scotland - 8.9% NI - 0.8% Non-UK - 0.8%
The BBFA reflects the voice of fans that have seen it all, the highs and the lows. We've been here for the long haul. How long have your followed British basketball? 10+ years - 50.8% 4-9 years - 24.2% 1-3 years - 22.6% Less than 1 year - 2.4%
