British Basketball League
|
|
The British Basketball League is the top men's professional basketball league in the United Kingdom. The BBL currently consists of the following member clubs:
| Birmingham Bullets |
| Brighton Bears |
| Chester Jets |
| Leicester Riders |
| London Towers |
| Milton Keynes Lions |
| Newcastle Eagles |
| Plymouth Raiders |
| Scottish Rocks |
| Sheffield Sharks |
| Thames Valley Tigers |
The BBL runs two knockout competitions alongside the main championship: the National Cup and the BBL Trophy.
The BBL is not to be confused with the English Basketball League, which effectively forms the second tier of British basketball. There is currently no promotion or relegation between the EBL and BBL because of the franchise system in use in the BBL (although Plymouth Raiders were elected to the BBL from EBL in 2004).
