Wikipedia - Women's British Basketball League
The Women's British Basketball League (WBBL) was the top-level women's basketball league in Great Britain, founded on 5 June 2014 as the women's counterpart to the British Basketball League (BBL). The league's headquarters sat in Leicester alongside the offices of the men's BBL. It was replaced by Super League Basketball like the men’s competition.
Like the BBL, the organisation used a franchise-based system so there is no promotion and relegation between the WBBL and the English Women's Basketball League, which forms the lower divisions. Along with the WBBL Championship and the post-season Play-offs, it also ran two knockout competitions featuring all WBBL member teams - the WBBL Cup and WBBL Trophy.
History
Officially approved by the British Basketball League and England Basketball, the newly created Women's British Basketball League was announced to the public on 5 June 2014, and the 2014–15 season was the league's first full season of competition.
The initial line-up included pre-existing teams from England and Wales, competing in a franchise-based organisation similar to the men's British Basketball League model, with no promotion or relegation in operation with the lower leagues. All eight teams from the pre-existing English Basketball League Division One (Women) competition were selected as member clubs, as well as the two finalists from the 2014 Division Two (Women) Play-offs, Brixton Lady TopCats and Leeds Beckett University. Since the league's inauguration, both Leeds and Brixton have resigned from the league, but three new clubs have joined in that time, including the league's first member club from Scotland.
Each season, teams battle it out in a series of thrilling matches, culminating in a highly anticipated playoff series to determine the league champion. The tournament not only highlights the athleticism and skill of female basketball players but also serves as a platform for inspiring the next generation of athletes.
Fans can expect high-energy games filled with intense rivalries, exceptional teamwork, and standout performances from both established stars and emerging talents. The WBBL is committed to fostering a vibrant basketball community, offering opportunities for players, coaches, and fans to engage with the sport at all levels.
Join us for an exciting season of British women's basketball, where passion, dedication, and sportsmanship take center stage!
