Hoopsfix Pro-Am Summer League returns for fifth year
The Hoopsfix Foundation has confirmed the return of the Hoopsfix Pro-Am Summer League for its fifth straight year, running from June 7th to July 5th, 2026, at Brixton Recreation Centre in South London.
Now firmly established as a highlight of the British basketball summer calendar, the five-week league brings elite-level talent back to The Rec – the iconic home of the Brixton Topcats – widely regarded as the spiritual home of London basketball.
With a focus on high-level competition, the league gives a platform to some of the UK’s top players, many of whom are based overseas or rarely appear in organised domestic action.
Past editions have featured a wealth of Great Britain Senior internationals, including the likes of Carl Wheatle, Akwasi Yeboah, Amin Adamu, Devon van Oostrum, Kavell Bigby-Williams, Dwayne Lautier-Ogunleye, and Matthew Bryan-Amaning.
On the women’s side, the court has seen appearances from Holly Winterburn, Ire Ozzy-Momodu, Shanice Beckford-Norton, Georgia Gayle, Shequila Joseph, and Chantel Charles, among others.
The 2026 edition will feature eight men’s teams and four women’s teams, with games taking place every Sunday from 10:30am to 6:00pm on June 7, 14, 21, 28, and July 5.

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.
