Super League Basketball is pressing ahead with plans for a new season despite a legal row with the BBF

Super League Basketball (SLB) chiefs have announced further fixture dates for next season despite the campaign being threatened by a legal battle with the British Basketball Federation (BBF).

SLB says its men’s and women’s Trophy Finals will take place at Birmingham’s Utilta Arena on 1 February 2026, with tickets set to be made available via a pre-sale from this Friday.

It follows confirmation last month that the SLB plans to stage its men’s and women’s Play-Off Finals at the O2 on 17 May 2026.

“The season’s first final is always popular with fans and for the finalists, the road to a possible double or treble in 2025-26 starts here,” said SLB Head of Events Clare Holmes.

“Last season’s final was watched by nearly 10,000 people in what is a superb basketball arena and we’re delighted to return to Birmingham for what will be another memorable occasion.”

Dates for the regular championship season remain unknown, however, with SLB’s ability to plan severely hindered by a High Court dispute over its recognition by the BBF.

SLB clubs insist the campaign will go ahead, although that looks impossible until any breakthrough in their bitter row with the BBF.

Why SLB and BBF are at war: the latest

The governing body withdrew SLB’s licence to run the top flight earlier this summer amid the dispute over a new operator, GBBL, being brought in to take over next year.
