BBL secures streaming partnership with FUBO Sports

The British Basketball League has secured a streaming partnership with Fubo Sports – the live, free TV network from FuboTV Inc. a sports-first TV streaming platform – to bring British basketball action to further audiences across the United States and Canada.

The deal is the fourth US broadcast deal the league has now signed, with NESN being the first, and NBC the second, YES the third, and marks the first to provide the league cover to Canadian audiences.

Under this agreement, Fubo Sports will stream a selection of weekend games as part of their diverse sports programming. The season programming schedule will be unveiled very soon.

Fubo Sports’ inaugural broadcast is slated to hit screens on Christmas Eve, when the London Lions host the Sheffield Sharks, with fans able to catch the Sharks in action once again on New Year’s Eve when they welcome the Manchester Giants.

Looking ahead to the New Year, fans can also catch British Basketball League action on Fubo Sports’ YouTube channel, starting from January 2024.

British Basketball League Chief Executive Officer, Aaron Radin, said:

“The British Basketball League is excited to bring its high-quality content to Fubo Sports that showcases the skill, passion, and excitement that define British basketball. This partnership marks a significant step forward in expanding the global footprint of the League and elevating the profile of British basketball on the international stage.”

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.
