London Lions will compete in EuroCup Women for the second season in a row after being confirmed amongst the lineup for the 2022-23 regular season.

Mark Clark’s side won a domestic quadruple in the WBBL last season and also impressed in their maiden venture in Europe after reaching the knockout stages.

The Lions started in the qualifiers last season as they overcame Spanish opposition Gran Canaria across two legs before advancing from a tough regular season group. They then drew top ranked Bourges in the playoffs and pulled off a stunning result at Crystal Palace before their dream run was ended on the road in France.

London will be without Jo Leedham-Warner after the GB legend announced her retirement last month, but are expected to maintain their core group from the successful winning side.

The draw for the regular season takes place next week with Lions placed in Conference 2 with a guarantee of six games in the group phase.

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.
