Super League Basketball

From 1987, the British Basketball League (BBL) was the pre-eminent basketball competition in Great Britain. By May 2024, Basketball League Ltd (BLL), the operating company behind the BBL, was in severe financial difficulties. Due to this uncertainty, the British Basketball Federation (BBF) terminated BLL's operating licence to run the men's professional league, with immediate effect. On the same day a new organisation, Premier Basketball Limited, was formed by a consortium of existing basketball teams formerly of the BBL. The consortium, led by Sarah Backovic, director of Sheffield Sharks, was granted a three-year licence by the BBF to operate the top-level men's basketball competition, in place of the former BBL. On 2 August 2024, "Super League Basketball" was announced as the name for the new competition. ==Teams==

Import players Rules currently allow for each team to have a maximum of six non-British qualified players per game, and any number of British-qualified (National or Right-to-Work) players. During the course of a season, any Club may license a maximum of 12 non-national players, and any non-national player who is delicensed and subsequently relicensed by a club will count as a new licence for the purposes of the calculation. Transfer regulations Players may be licensed at any time prior to midday on the last day of March during that season. Salary cap There is no salary cap in the league. Instead, clubs' total player emoluments are monitored and used to determine registration eligibility, including limits on the number of non-national players permitted in SLB Competitions. Clubs are limited on the number of non-national players they are permitted to field in SLB Competitions, based on their total declared emoluments: • Less than £500,000 net, the club may field a maximum of six (6) non-national players. • Between £500,000 and £800,000 net, the club may field a maximum of five (5) non-national players. • Greater than £800,000 net, the club may field a maximum of four (4) non-national players. ==Results==
