NBA and FIBA to launch new European pro basketball league with $1B+ franchises, starting in 2026.
The NBA and FIBA have announced plans to launch a new professional men’s basketball league in Europe, with permanent teams and a merit-based qualification pathway for clubs from existing domestic leagues or tournaments like the Basketball Champions League.
The league, designed to avoid scheduling conflicts, will allow players to participate in all domestic, national, and international competitions.
Franchise values could exceed $1 billion, with nonbinding ownership bids expected in January and a final decision pending approval from the NBA Board of Governors in March.
The initiative aims to strengthen basketball across Europe at the professional, academy, and grassroots levels, with financial and operational support from both organizations.
