Apply to enter your team into London’s biggest grassroots basketball competition. The CBL gives clubs, academies, schools, community programmes and independent teams a structured competitive home — with central venue fixtures, age-group divisions and a clear pathway for players to develop, compete and progress.
Coaches, team managers, club leads and programme operators should use this page to apply for CBL team entry. Individual players looking for a team should use the player sign-up route instead.
