The London Basketball Network brings basketball to everyone across the capital — connecting players, coaches, clubs, and communities to the pathways, programs, and opportunities that transform lives.
We are more than a collection of teams or initiatives. LBN is the connective infrastructure of basketball in London — aligning grassroots participation, competitions, elite development, education, clubs, events, media, and culture into one coherent system.
From grassroots dreams to professional teams, we grow the game, elevate the culture, and unlock basketball’s unique ability to engage, empower, and unite. This is how we build a lasting legacy — for London, and for everyone who plays, coaches, watches and follows our sport.
Our mission is simple and uncompromising:
We expand access so no child or community is priced out of the game.
We elevate talent through programs and pathways that develop every athlete to their full potential.
We grow the game through education, mentoring, and outreach that strengthens clubs and communities.
And we empower the leaders — coaches, officials, organisers, and innovators — who will shape the future of basketball in London.
We’ve already proven what’s possible — and built the systems to do it again, better, and at scale.
Through Midnight Madness, the London School of Basketball, and the Community Basketball League, we’ve engaged over 50,000 players and supported more than 500 athletes on their journeys to scholarships and professional careers.
We’ve trained and developed many of London’s most successful coaches, organisers, and leaders, helping set the standard for basketball delivery across the city.
Trusted by partners including Nike, Sport England, the Mayor of London, and Basketball England, we’ve built a strong foundation.
Now, we’re taking it further.
To make navigating the Network simple, we’ve structured everything around 4 key pillars which sit at the base of everything we do. Each pillar speaks to a distinct stage or role within basketball—helping every visitor quickly find where they fit.
Wherever you are on your journey — beginner, competitor, coach, or club leader — there’s a place for you in the London Basketball Network. Join us and help shape the future of the game.
The London Basketball Network is a purpose-driven community uniting players, coaches, clubs, and fans across the capital. From grassroots dreams to professional teams, we provide clear pathways to learn, play, develop, and progress. Our programs combine opportunity with training and culture — inspiring growth on and off the court while building a sustainable heartbeat for basketball in London.
