Sky Sports reveals BBL TV schedule for 2020-21

Sky Sports has revealed its BBL schedule through until February 2021, tipping off this Thursday night with a double-header from Newcastle Eagles’ Community Arena.

The new two-year agreement means Sky Sports will air 30 live BBL games a season, including both the men’s and women’s BBL Trophy Final, BBL Cup Final and BBL Playoffs, with 13 of those now inked into the schedule which can be seen below.

It runs concurrent to the 4-year NBA deal Sky Sports signed in 2018, which they are currently delivering as the official home of the NBA in the UK.

Sky Sports previously provided coverage for the BBL between 1995 and 2001, and again in 2010.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
