basketballscotland is excited to celebrate the inclusion of two of our Senior Men clubs, Sony Centre Falkirk Fury and St Mirren, in the inaugural Super League Basketball Cup competition. Both teams accepted invitations to join the tournament, and will now go on to compete alongside some of the best talent from across Britain.
The competition will see two teams from basketballscotland’s SBC league and five teams from Basketball England’s NBL Division One join the nine Super League Basketball franchises in the cup competition. This offers an exciting opportunity for our Scottish teams to showcase their skill and competitive spirit on a larger stage, while representing the depth of talent within Scottish basketball.
The first round of the Cup is set to take place on the weekend of January 10th, with all participating clubs entered into an open draw. Single-leg contests will determine the outcomes of the First Round and quarter-finals, while the semi-finals will be played over two legs. The final, to be held at the end of March, promises to be a spectacular event for British basketball fans.
basketballscotland’s Chair, Stephen Ferguson, shared his thoughts on this exciting development: “The newly-formed Super League Basketball provides a solid foundation for professional basketball to begin reaching its potential. We’re delighted to see two teams from Scotland taking part in the Cup competition, creating that all-important link between pro league basketball and grassroots senior basketball. We wish the Scottish teams every success and hope their experience will provide an opportunity to learn and grow.”
As we continue to support the growth of basketball in Scotland, this is a unique opportunity for both Fury and St Mirren to challenge themselves at a new level and gain valuable experience. We encourage the entire basketball community in Scotland to follow their journey as they compete in this high-profile tournament.
All games in the Super League Basketball Cup will be streamed live and free on DAZN, allowing fans to watch every moment of the action.
